Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
8 ounces sweet Italian sausage, casings removed
2 bell peppers (any color), sliced
1 small onion, sliced
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 1/3 cups marinara sauce
4 large flour tortillas (burrito-size)
1 8-ounce bag shredded mozzarella cheese (about 2 cups)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon and stirring occasionally, until browned and mostly cooked through, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the bell peppers, onion, garlic, oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes. Add 1/3 cup each marinara sauce and water and cook, stirring, until the vegetables are lightly coated and the skillet is mostly dry, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl and carefully wipe out the skillet.
  • Lay the tortillas on a work surface. Top one side of each tortilla with 1/4 cup mozzarella, 1/2 tablespoon Parmesan, one-quarter of the sausage-and-peppers mixture and another 1/4 cup mozzarella and 1/2 tablespoon Parmesan. Fold the tortillas over the filling and gently press.
  • Brush the tortillas with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Working in two batches, cook the quesadillas in the reserved skillet over medium heat until browned, about 2 minutes per side.
  • Warm the remaining 1 cup marinara sauce in a small saucepan or the microwave. Cut the quesadillas into wedges. Serve with the sauce for dipping.

These quesadillas are a great way to use up leftover sausage and peppers. They're also a great meal for busy weeknights.

I love that this recipe is so versatile. I can use different types of sausage and peppers, and I can even add other ingredients like cheese or sour cream.

I'm not a big fan of sausage, but these quesadillas were still really good. The peppers and onions added a lot of flavor.

These quesadillas were a huge disappointment. The filling was bland and the tortillas were soggy. I won't be making these again.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my quesadillas didn't turn out crispy. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

The quesadillas were good, but I thought they were a little dry. I would have liked more cheese in the filling.

These quesadillas were a little too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. I'll probably make them again with less pepper next time.
