Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 medium flour tortillas
- 1/3 cup pizza sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan
- 1/3 cup sliced pepperoni
- 1/4 tsp. Italian seasoning
- Fresh chopped parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare skillet. Heat your broiler and place a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the extra-virgin olive oil and let it warm up for a minute.
- Build the first layer. Place one tortilla in the skillet and spread half of the pizza sauce evenly over it. Sprinkle the minced garlic over the sauce, then add half the mozzarella, Parmesan, pepperoni, and Italian seasoning.
- Top with second tortilla and cook. Place the second tortilla on top of the layered ingredients. Cook on medium heat until the cheese starts to melt and the bottom tortilla turns golden brown.
- Flip carefully. Cover the skillet with a large plate, invert the skillet to slide the pizzadilla onto the plate, then slide it back into the skillet so the cooked side is up. This technique ensures even cooking without breaking the pizzadilla.
- Add remaining toppings. Spread the rest of the pizza sauce, mozzarella, Parmesan, pepperoni, and Italian seasoning evenly on top of the cooked tortilla layer.
- Broil to finish. Place the skillet under the preheated broiler and broil for about 2 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the pepperoni crisps up.
- Garnish and serve. Remove the pizzadilla from the broiler, sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley, slice, and serve immediately.
Notes
- Use an oven-safe skillet to easily transfer from stovetop to broiler.
- If you like a crispier texture, you can toast the tortillas lightly before assembling.
- Substitute pepperoni with cooked sausage or vegetables for a different variation.
- Watch the pizzadilla closely under the broiler to prevent burning, as broilers can vary in intensity.
- To make it vegetarian, omit the pepperoni and add extra veggies like mushrooms or bell peppers.
