Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground italian sausage
- ½ yellow onion, diced
- ½ green bell pepper, diced
- 6 burrito size flour tortillas
- 13 oz pizza sauce
- 6 oz sliced pepperoni
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- olive oil spray
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage, breaking it up as you go. Cook until no longer pink and cooked through. Remove the sausage to a paper towel lined plate to drain.
- In the same skillet, saute the onions and peppers until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove to a bowl and wipe out the skillet.
- Lay out the tortillas and spread about 2 tbsp of pizza sauce on each. On three of the tortillas (leave three to go on top) Sprinkle about ⅓ of a cup of the shredded mozzarella cheese onto each tortilla. Layer with the sausage, onion & pepper mixture, and pepperoni and top with ⅓ additional cup of mozzarella. Place the remaining three tortillas sauce side down on top.
- Return the skillet to medium heat and spray with olive oil spray. Place one quesadilla in the pan and cook for about 3-5 minutes per side until browned and crisp and the cheese is melted. Repeat the process with the remaining two quesadillas.
- Slice into quarters and serve!
Notes

- If your cheese isn’t melting fast enough, use a lid to cover your skillet. it will help move things along a little faster.
- The serving size is ½ of a quesadilla. You can also use smaller tortillas, just increase the number of tortillas and give each person their own quesadilla.
