1 cup freshly grated mozzarella cheese

6 oz sliced pepperoni
# Steps to Cook:
01 -
Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced onions and bell peppers, Italian seasoning, basil, salt, and pepper. Cook for 3–4 minutes until softened and fragrant.
02 -
Lay out 4 tortillas and spread each with marinara or pizza sauce, leaving a small border around the edges.
03 -
Distribute sautéed vegetables, pepperoni slices, and grated mozzarella evenly over the sauced tortillas. Top each with a second tortilla and press gently to adhere.
04 -
In the same skillet, cook each quesadilla over medium heat for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
05 -
Let quesadillas rest for 1 minute before slicing into wedges. Serve hot.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
Use freshly grated mozzarella for optimal melt and stretch.
02 -
Avoid overfilling to prevent difficulty flipping and spillage.
03 -
Medium heat ensures the tortillas crisp before the cheese overcooks.
04 -
Letting them rest briefly after cooking helps the cheese set.
