Ingredients
1 teaspoon olive oil or butter
¼ cup diced onions
¼–½ cup diced bell peppers
½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon dried basil
Salt and pepper, to taste
8 (8-inch) tortillas
½–1 cup marinara or pizza sauce
1 cup grated mozzarella cheese
4–6 oz pepperoni
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions, bell peppers, Italian seasoning, basil, salt, and pepper. Sauté for 3–4 minutes until softened. Remove and set aside.
Spread marinara or pizza sauce over each tortilla. Add cooked vegetables, pepperoni, and mozzarella cheese evenly. Top with another tortilla to form a quesadilla.
Cook each quesadilla in the skillet for 2–3 minutes per side over medium heat, until golden and crispy and the cheese has melted.
Slice and serve warm with extra marinara for dipping, if desired.
Notes
Use whole wheat tortillas for a healthier option.
Add mushrooms, spinach, or olives for more veggie flavor.
Can substitute pepperoni with turkey pepperoni or vegetarian pepperoni.
Best served hot for maximum crispiness.
