Provided by Sarah Menanix

Number Of Ingredients 5

8 flour tortillas (I used Trader Joe's handmade tortillas)
8 ounces of shredded mozzarella cheese
1/3 lb pepperoni
1 16-ounce jar of pizza sauce
Optional: 1 6-ounce can of sliced black olives, 1 cup of sliced cremini mushrooms

Steps:

  • Heat a medium skillet over medium heat and fry the pepperoni until crisp. Transfer on a paper towel to drain.
  • Brush each tortilla with a thin layer of pizza sauce (so thin that if you turned it over, none would drip).
  • Sprinkle cheese on top of the sauce on the bottom tortilla. Top with pepperoni and other toppings, if desired. Sprinkle with another layer of cheese and place the other tortilla on top (sauce side in).
  • Pre-heat a medium cast-iron skilled over medium heat.
  • Lay quesadilla in the pan and cook for 3-5 minutes on each side, until cheese is melted and tortillas are crispy.
  • Slice into quarters and serve with a little bowl of pizza dipping sauce.

GLUTEN FREE PEPPERONI PIZZA QUESADILLA



Gluten Free Pepperoni Pizza Quesadilla image

In my quest for gluten-free, yeast-free pizza, I'm always trying different things to get that pizza taste that I crave but can't have. One day a few months ago I was really craving pizza while I was at the grocery store, so I bought some pizza sauce, turkey pepperoni and mozarella cheese and this is what I came up with. Not quite the same thing as the pizza I remember, but a pretty close second and it's ready in a pinch! Note: I've also made this with Italian turkey sausage or just plain cheese depending on my mood.
