Pizzadillas Recipes

PIZZADILLAS

Steps:

• Lay all tortillas on counter. Sprinkle each very generously with cheese on each tortilla. Drizzle with a few ounces of sauce. Spread pepperoni and sausage over cheese and cover with remaining cheese. Fold over each tortilla to form a half-moon quesadilla. In a heated, large nonstick pan, brown both sides of quesadillas. Bake pizzadillas in a 350 degree F oven for 5 minutes. Cut each pizzadilla into quarters and serve with remaining pizza sauce for dipping.

4 CHEESE PEPPERONI PIZZADILLA

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler.
• Heat the butter and oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Place one flour tortilla in the skillet. Spread a few tablespoons pizza sauce on the tortilla, leaving a little room around the edges. Sprinkle half of the provolone and half of the fontina over the sauce. Sprinkle a third of the mozzarella next, followed by 1 tablespoon Parmesan and 1/2 teaspoon oregano.
• Top with the second tortilla and press it down gently. Once the underside is perfectly toasted, carefully flip the quesadilla to the other side.
• Spread a few more tablespoons pizza sauce on the toasted side of the tortilla, being sure to leave a little bit of the edges exposed so it looks like a pizza. Sprinkle with another third of the mozzarella and the remaining provolone, fontina, Parmesan and oregano.
• Arrange the red bell pepper and red onion on top of the cheeses like you would on a pizza. Do the same with the pepperoni slices and the olives. Top with the remaining mozzarella.
• Transfer the pan to the broiler and let cook to melt the cheese on top, about 2 minutes. Carefully transfer the pizzadilla to a cutting board using a large spatula or two smaller spatulas.
• Warm up the remaining pizza sauce and serve in a bowl for dipping. Cut the pizzadilla into wedges and garnish with the torn basil.

PIZZADILLAS

Steps:

• Spread pizza sauce on one tortilla.
• Sprinkle with cheese.
• Add toppings of your choice, or add some extra cheese and keep it simple.
• Top with second tortilla.
• Spray the outside of the pizzadilla with spray butter or non-stick cooking spray. I find it easiest to spray the pan, place the pizzadilla in the pan, and then spray the top side, so that all of the ingredients won't fall out trying to juggle it.
• Cook until golden brown and cheese is melted in a pan over medium heat, flipping once.
• Cut into wedges. Use remaining sauce for dipping!

PIZZADILLA (GRILLED PIZZA SANDWICH)

Steps:

• Divide dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a 1/8-inch thick circle on a lightly floured surface.
• Heat a pan over medium-high heat and brush with oil. Add 1 piece of dough and reduce heat to medium. Cook for 2 minutes and flip. Spread 1/4 of the sauce over the dough. Sprinkle 1/4 of the mozzarella cheese and some sausage, mushrooms, and red onion on top, leaving about 1/2 inch of dough around the outside. Press gently into the middle of the dough with a spatula to make a crease; fold in half.
• Brush crust with a little more olive oil and flip over. Repeat on the other side and continue cooking until both sides of the pizzadilla are as browned and crisp as you like.
• Repeat with remaining pizza dough and toppings. Cut each pizzadilla in half and serve.
