Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Pepperoni Pizza Quesadillas
  1. Begin by heating a large skillet over medium heat. While the skillet warms up, take one flour tortilla and brush one side lightly with olive oil.
  2. Place the oiled side of the tortilla down in the heated skillet. Spread 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce evenly on the surface of the tortilla.
  3. Next, sprinkle ¼ cup of shredded mozzarella cheese on top, followed by a layer of sliced pepperoni, a pinch of dried Italian seasoning, grated Parmesan, and freshly chopped basil.
  4. Carefully place a second tortilla on top of the cheese and toppings. Gently press down with a spatula to combine the layers.
  5. Cook the quesadilla for about 2 to 3 minutes, or until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and crispy.
  6. Using a spatula, carefully flip the quesadilla over, allowing the uncooked side to now face the skillet. Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes.
  7. Once cooked to perfection, carefully remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it rest for about a minute. Slice it into wedges, and serve immediately.
