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

PREP AHEAD:
  • Dice the onion and pepper and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to use.
  • Cook the sausage ahead of time and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
 
NOTES:
  • Use your favorite pizza toppings!  This recipe can be completely customized to your liking.
  • 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.
