Rave & Review: Pepperoni Pizza Quesadilla

Originally Posted By: Snixy Kitchen, found via Pinterest

Special Instructions: The original recipe makes four servings. This recipe is for an individual quesadilla. You will also find that the amounts of ingredients are very flexible based on your personal taste and preference.

Ingredients: flour tortillas, shredded cheese, pepperoni, pizza sauce

Tools: stove, pan, spatula (or a quesadilla maker)

Made with pepperoni and diced olives.


2 flour tortillas
1/4 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese
12 pieces of pepperoni
1/4 cup of pizza sauce (I used pepperoni pizza sauce)

Optional Add-In: Other pizza toppings, like olives and mushrooms. Add-ins should be cut into small pieces. The more added in, consider adding more cheese; cheese is the glue that holds the quesadilla together.

Directions: Turn the stove on low and lay the first tortilla down. Sprinkle half of your cheese evenly, then place the pepperoni. Sprinkle the rest of your cheese and lay the second tortilla on top. You will know you can flip the quesadilla without the top tortilla falling off or losing any ingredients if you try to lift the top tortilla off and it is fused down with the melted cheese.

Cook for about 5 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla sides become a little crispy. (Test this by tapping your spatula on the browning portions.) Remove from heat and allow to cool for a minute before cutting it into quarters. Serve with the side of pizza sauce for dipping.

Pair With: Anything you might like! Eat this as a main dish or an appetizer.


I have made this recipe a dozen times and things can be done differently each time. I have served it with a vegetable side and made mini-quesadillas using one tortilla folded over. You can use more or less cheese, pepperoni, sauce--anything you might like! If you have a quesadilla maker, this can be made quickly. Play around with it and see what suits your tastes!
