How to make Easy Pizza Quesadillas:
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and fry the pepperoni until crisp – transfer to a paper towel to drain. You can skip this step if you’re short on time, but we feel like it makes the pepperoni taste more like it does on a regular pizza.
- Brush each tortilla with a thin layer of pizza sauce. Most pizza quesadilla or “pizzadilla” recipes skip this step – but this is what MAKES these quesadillas.
- Assemble quesadillas by sprinkling cheese on top of the sauce on the bottom tortilla, topping it with pepperoni, and sprinkling another layer of cheese on top. Place a second tortilla on top, sauce side down.
- Preheat a greased skillet over medium heat. While cooking spray works well, we prefer to brush the skillet slightly with butter. It tastes a little more authentic that way. Don’t skip this step, or your tortillas won’t turn out as nicely browned or crispy.
- Gently place quesadilla in the pan and cook for 3 to 5 minutes on each side, until cheese is melted and tortillas are crispy.
- Slice into quarters and serve with a bowl of warm pizza sauce.

I stole the idea from the "pizzadillas" that TGIFridays used to have on their menu. I don't know why they took that off the menu! It was so good!
