Ultimate Pizza Quesadilla

Ingredients

• 2 tsp extra virgin olive oil (½ tsp per tortilla)
• 4 — Large (9”) La Tortilla Factory Whole Wheat High Fiber, Low Carb Tortillas
• 1½ cups Ragú® Light Pizza Sauce (2 Tbsp per tortilla + ¼ cup leftover for dipping)
• 2 cups low moisture, part-skim, shredded mozzarella cheese (½ cup per tortilla, divided)
• 6 oz turkey pepperoni (1.5 oz per tortilla)
• ½ cup onion, minced (2 Tbsp per tortilla)
• ½ cup green bell pepper, diced (2 Tbsp per tortilla)
• 1 cup white mushrooms, thinly sliced (¼ cup per tortilla)
Optional*:
• 1 tsp crushed red pepper (optional: (¼ tsp per tortilla)
• *Optional ingredients are not calculated into the nutritional information.

Instructions

1. Preheat a medium skillet over medium heat.
2. Brush one side of a tortilla with ½ tsp olive oil and lay oil side down in skillet. Spoon and spread 2 Tbsp of pizza sauce over tortilla.
3. Sprinkle ¼ cup of cheese OVER HALF OF THE TORTILLA, followed by the turkey pepperoni, 2 Tbsp onion, 2 Tbsp green pepper, ¼ cup mushrooms (optional crushed red pepper) and the remaining ¼ cup cheese.
4. Fold the tortilla in half covering the filling and cook until the quesadilla is golden brown, about 2-3 minutes more.
5. Carefully flip, so the filling doesn’t fall out. Continue to cook until the other side is golden brown, about another 2-3 minutes more. Set aside and cover with foil to keep warm. Repeat with other tortillas or have several skillets going at once (tough, but doable if you have all your ingredients prepped and ready!)
6. Slice into half and serve each with a ¼ cup pizza sauce.
