Pizza Quesadillas

I love quesadillas. So when I saw this recipe I was instantly excited. The marriage of italian and mexican food would have to be good, right? I am happy to report that it was and this recipe was a resounding success! Even Logan ate it without me having to coax/bribe/feed him myself. For anyone who wants a kid friendly and yummy recipe, make this. I didn't fry the pepperoni before hand and I just baked the Quesadillas in the oven instead of a pan and they still turned out great. This is a 5 star recipe for sure.

Ingredients:

8 flour tortillas

8 ounces of shredded mozzarella cheese

6 ounces sliced pepperoni

1 (16-ounce) jar of pizza sauce
butter for pan

Instructions:

Heat a medium skillet over medium heat and fry the pepperoni until crisp. Transfer onto a paper towel to drain. Brush each tortilla with a thin layer of pizza sauce. You want the layer so thin that if you turned it over, none would drip. Sprinkle cheese on top of the sauce on the bottom tortilla. Top with pepperoni and other toppings, if desired. Sprinkle with another layer of cheese and place the other tortilla on top (sauce side in).

Preheat a medium cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add a little butter if desired and melt. Gently place quesadilla in the pan and cook for 3-5 minutes on each side, until cheese is melted and tortillas are crispy. Slice into quarters and serve with a little bowl of warm pizza sauce for dipping.
