Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 6 10-inch flour tortillas ($1.34)
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella ($1.75)
- 1/2 batch Thick & Rich Pizza Sauce ($1.20)
Toppings
- 30 pepperoni slices ($1.38)
- 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced ($0.99)
- 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced ($0.42)
- 2.25 oz can sliced black olives, drained ($1.29)
- 1 can mushrooms, drained ($0.85)
Instructions
- Prep the vegetables and toppings: Thinly slice the bell pepper and red onion. Drain the olives and mushrooms thoroughly to prevent sogginess inside the pizzadillas.
- Assemble the pizzadilla: Lay one tortilla flat and sprinkle 1/3 cup of shredded mozzarella over half of the tortilla. Layer on the pepperoni slices, sliced bell pepper, red onion, olives, and mushrooms evenly over the cheese. Add the remaining mozzarella cheese on top of the toppings. Fold the other half of the tortilla over the filling to create a half-moon shape.
- Cook the pizzadilla: Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Place the folded pizzadilla in the skillet and cook until the bottom side turns brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Carefully flip and cook the other side until also golden brown and the cheese inside has melted, another 3-4 minutes.
- Slice and serve: Remove the pizzadilla from the skillet and let it cool slightly. Use a pizza cutter to slice it into thirds. Serve warm with the thick and rich pizza sauce for dipping.
