Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 medium flour tortillas
- 1/3 cup pizza sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/3 cup sliced pepperoni
- 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Fresh chopped parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Heat the skillet: Preheat your broiler and place a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the extra-virgin olive oil and allow it to warm up.
- Assemble the base layer: Place one tortilla in the skillet and spread half of the pizza sauce evenly over it. Sprinkle the minced garlic on top, then add half the mozzarella, Parmesan, pepperoni, and Italian seasoning evenly across the tortilla.
- Top with second tortilla and cook: Place the second tortilla on top of the layers and cook until the cheese begins to melt and the bottom tortilla becomes golden brown.
- Flip with care: Cover the skillet with a large plate and invert the skillet, transferring the pizzadilla onto the plate cooked-side up. Then slide it back into the skillet, cooked-side up.
- Add remaining toppings: Spread the remaining pizza sauce, mozzarella, Parmesan, pepperoni, and Italian seasoning over the exposed tortilla on top.
- Broil to finish: Place the skillet under the preheated broiler and broil for about 2 minutes, or until the cheese melts fully and the pepperoni crisps up nicely.
- Garnish and serve: Remove from the broiler, garnish with fresh chopped parsley, and serve immediately.
Notes
- Use medium flour tortillas for the best size and crispiness.
- You can substitute pepperoni with other favorite pizza toppings like mushrooms or bell peppers.
- Keep a close eye under the broiler to prevent burning as cooking times can vary.
- For a spicier kick, add crushed red pepper flakes to the cheese layer.
- Serve with extra pizza sauce or garlic dip on the side for added flavor.
