Optional Add-Ins
Customize your quesadillas with:
½ cup sautéed onions
½ cup bell peppers or mushrooms
¼ cup chopped olives
Crushed red pepper flakes for heat
Step-by-Step Directions
Stage 1: Crisp the Pepperoni (2 minutes)
Heat a skillet over medium heat.
Add pepperoni slices in a single layer—no oil needed.
Cook 1–2 minutes per side until edges are crisp.
Remove to paper towels to drain.
This step adds texture and concentrates pepperoni flavor, giving each bite a satisfying crunch.
Stage 2: Pre-Bake Prep (1 minute)
If desired, spread butter or olive oil on one side of each tortilla.
This helps achieve a golden, crunchy exterior when toasted.
Stage 3: Assemble Quesadillas (3 minutes)
On the un-buttered side of each tortilla:
Spread ¼ cup pizza sauce.
