Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 medium flour tortillas
- 1/3 cup pizza sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan
- 1/3 cup sliced pepperoni
- 1/4 tsp. Italian seasoning
- Fresh chopped parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare skillet and first tortilla layer: Heat the broiler. In a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add one tortilla to the skillet and spread about half of the pizza sauce evenly on top. Scatter the minced garlic over the sauce and sprinkle half of the mozzarella, Parmesan, pepperoni, and Italian seasoning evenly over the tortilla.
- Add second tortilla and cook: Place the second tortilla on top of the layered tortilla. Cook on medium heat until the cheese melts and the bottom tortilla turns golden brown.
- Flip the pizzadilla: When ready to flip, cover the skillet with a large plate and carefully invert it to transfer the pizzadilla onto the plate. Then slide the pizzadilla back into the skillet, cooked side up. Spread the remaining pizza sauce, mozzarella, Parmesan, pepperoni, and Italian seasoning on top.
- Broil for finishing touch: Place the skillet under the broiler and broil for about 2 minutes, or until the cheese melts fully and the pepperoni crisps up nicely.
- Garnish and serve: Remove from broiler and garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
- Use an oven-safe skillet to easily transfer between stovetop and broiler.
- Adjust the amount of garlic and Italian seasoning to taste.
- For a vegetarian option, omit pepperoni or substitute with veggies.
- Be cautious while flipping the skillet with a plate to avoid spills or burns.
- Serve immediately for the best crispy and melty texture.
