Pizza Quesadilla

Quesadillas?! Usually I pack mine with cheese, of course, chicken and veggies, like onions and peppers. On Saturday, I felt like pizza! Yet, no pizza to be found out here in the country…no delivery and I didn’t feel like leaving the house. What to do? Pizza Quesadillas!

Ingredients

  • 2 flour tortillas
  • 1 tablespoon of butter
  • 3 tablespoons of pizza sauce
  • 1/3 cup of cheese
  • toppings - I used turkey bacon

Instructions

  • First gather all your ingredients and get them ready. I wanted to fry up the turkey bacon first, so I diced it up and tossed it in a pan. While that was cooking, I shredded the cheese and buttered the tortillas.
  • Heat a big pan (big enough for the tortilla) on medium heat.
  • Toss in the buttered tortilla and then sauce quickly. Top with turkey bacon and then the shredded cheese. Finally, top with the other tortilla. Cook each side for about 3 minutes.
  • How to flip? This part is tricky and also why it's important to use a big pan and also well butter your tortilla. Take the pan off the stove (I hold it in my left hand) and lift 1/2 the quesadilla with a spatula (using my right hand) and flip it fast, directing the pan in order to 'catch it'. You'll be a pro in no time!
  • Done - time to eat up.
