Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Pepperoni Pizza Quesadilla
  1. Start by gathering all your ingredients for the Pepperoni Pizza Quesadilla. Lay out a clean cutting board and have your tortillas, shredded mozzarella cheese, pepperoni slices, and pizza sauce within reach.
  2. Take one tortilla and spread a thin layer of pizza sauce evenly over it, sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top, followed by pepperoni slices. Finally, sprinkle another layer of cheese and fold the tortilla in half.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium heat and place the assembled quesadilla in the skillet, cooking for 2-3 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.
  4. Gently flip the quesadilla using a spatula and cook the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes until golden brown and cheese is melted.
  5. Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it cool for a minute. Slice into wedges for sharing, serving immediately with extra pizza sauce.
