PEPPERONI PIZZA QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• Heat a medium skillet over medium heat and fry the pepperoni until crisp. Transfer on a paper towel to drain.
• Brush each tortilla with a thin layer of pizza sauce (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).
• Pre-heat a medium cast-iron skilled over medium heat.
• Lay 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 pizza dipping sauce.

PEPPERONI PIZZA QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet to medium heat and fry the pepperoni until crisp. Remove them from the pan and place them on a paper towel to soak up the extra grease.
• Use a paper towel to remove any remaining pepperoni grease from the pan and then add about 1/2 tbsp of butter and spread it around with a spatula as it melts.
• Drop your tortilla into the pan, flipping it a few times so that both sides are evenly covered in butter. Crisp ONE SIDE of the tortilla for a minute and then flip and top the CRISPY SIDE with shredded cheese, pepperoni, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder.
• Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes or until the under side is golden brown and your cheese is melted.
• Fold one side of the tortilla over and remove from the pan. Allow it to rest for a few minutes before slicing with a pizza cutter.
• Serve with warm pizza sauce or marinara.
