Video Review: Pepperoni Pizza Quesadilla

“A really quick and easy lunch idea!”

Monique of Divas Can Cook shares a delicious pepperoni pizza and quesadilla combo, a simple solution to that classic dilemma: “What’s for lunch?” This recipe is also a great idea for easy weeknight dinners.

THE RECIPE

3-4 tablespoons butter, melted
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (or to taste)
1 teaspoon Parmesan cheese (or to taste)
4 flour tortillas (8 inch)
Mozzarella cheese
Pizza sauce
Pizza toppings (pepperoni, onions, black olives, pineapple, sausage, peppers, etc.)

Melt the butter and stir in the minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and grated Parmesan. Heat a grill pan over medium, then brush the tortillas with the seasoned butter mix and place them on the pan with the buttered side down. Spread pizza sauce, onions, cheese and pepperoni on top. When the buttered side gets crisp and golden, fold the tortilla over and press lightly. Cook quesadillas for about another minute, then remove from heat and cut into thirds.
