Italian Quesadillas image

Mexican meets Italian! Everybody loved these quesadillas, and the kids said they tasted like "pizza sandwiches." My daughter's friend (who's a picky eater and rarely eats what I cook) loved them.

Categories     Sandwiches

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 5

8 8 inch flour tortillas
8 slices mozzarella cheese
4 slices provolone cheese
jar(s) pesto*
jar(s) marinara sauce for dipping

Steps:

  • 1. Assemble: Spread about 1 Tablespoon of the pesto on one side of each tortilla. On four tortillas, place the cheese: 2 slices mozzarella and 1 slice provolone for each. Tear the slices in half so you can spread the cheese evenly over tortilla. Place the other 4 tortillas, pesto side down, on top of the cheese and press.
  • 2. Cook: Heat a little olive oil in a nonstick pan over medium to medium high heat. Cook each quesadilla about 2-3 minutes per side, or until cheese is melted really well. Cut each into quarters and serve with the marinara sauce for dipping. Enjoy!! * I used Pesto Rosso, which is made with basil, sundried tomatoes, and Grana Padano cheese, but regular pesto would also be great with this.

These quesadillas were easy to make and turned out great! I used a store-bought pesto and sun-dried tomatoes, and they still tasted amazing.
