Quesapizzas

I love making quesapizzas at home. It’s fun to make these pizza/quesadilla combinations and I think you can be pretty flexible with how you do it. Some folks think they should be open faced and cooked in an oven, but I like to make my quesapizzas more in the style of a quesadilla, but with pizza fillings.

The finished quesapizzas. These quesadillas are made with corn tortillas and have been cooked on a grill, giving them a nice browning and crispness. Inside the quesadillas you can see melted cheese, pizza sauce, basil, and pepperoni.

Equipment

  • 1 pan Cast iron works great for this.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 Corn Tortilla
  • 1 tbsp Pizza Sauce
  • 1 leaf Fresh Basil optional, but it really makes a big improvement
  • 5-7 pieces Peperoni
  • 1 handful shredded cheese You can use a Mexican or an Italian blend. Either works.
  • 1 dash Hot Sauce (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Heat a pan over medium high heat
  • Add the pepperonis and let them cook until crisp (about two minutes)
  • On one of your tortillas, add the tomato sauce, shredded cheese, chopped up basil, and crisped pepperonis. Add the second tortilla on top.
  • Add a teaspoon of oil or butter to the pan. There should be some oil leftover from cooking the pepperonis too.
  • Place the quesapizza on the hot pan and let it cook until the bottom tortilla is brown and crisp. (2-3 minutes)
  • Flip the quesapizza and cook that side until it is crisp

Notes

 
 
I used to use flour tortillas instead of corn tortillas. I was a young fool.
