Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 medium flour tortillas
- 1/3 cup pizza sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/3 cup sliced pepperoni
- 1/4 tsp. Italian seasoning
- Fresh chopped parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare skillet and first tortilla: Heat the broiler. Place a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat and warm the olive oil. Add one flour tortilla to the skillet. Spread about half of the pizza sauce evenly over the tortilla, then scatter the minced garlic on top. Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, sliced pepperoni, and Italian seasoning evenly over the sauce.
- Add second tortilla and cook: Place the second tortilla on top of the first. Cook until the cheese begins to melt and the tortilla on the bottom is golden brown.
- Flip the pizzadilla: When ready to flip, cover the skillet with a large plate and carefully invert the skillet to transfer the pizzadilla onto the plate. Then slide the pizzadilla back into the skillet with the cooked side up. Spread the remaining pizza sauce, then top with the remaining mozzarella, Parmesan, pepperoni, and Italian seasoning.
- Broil to finish: Place the skillet under the preheated broiler. Broil for about 2 minutes, or until the cheese melts completely and the pepperoni crisps up.
- Garnish and serve: Remove from the broiler and garnish the pizzadilla with fresh chopped parsley. Cut into slices and serve warm.
Notes
- Use an oven-safe skillet to allow for broiling directly in the pan.
- If you prefer a crispier tortilla, cook a little longer on the stovetop before broiling.
- You can customize toppings by adding vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms.
- To reduce oil, use a non-stick skillet and apply oil sparingly or spray with cooking spray.
- Handle the skillet carefully when flipping to avoid spills or burns.
