Instructions

Prepare the Tortillas: Lay two large flour tortillas flat on a clean surface. Spread about 1/4 cup of pizza sauce evenly over each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges to prevent spilling during cooking.
Add Cheese and Toppings: Sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese uniformly over the sauced side of each tortilla. Top with pepperoni, black olives (if using), and diced bell peppers to your liking.
Assemble Quesadizzas: Place the remaining two tortillas on top of each prepared tortilla to form a quesadilla sandwich, pressing gently to secure.
Heat the Skillet: Warm a large skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with olive oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking and promote golden browning.
Cook the Quesadizzas: Carefully transfer one quesadizza to the hot skillet. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese inside has melted. Repeat with the second quesadizza.
Serve: Remove quesadizzas from the skillet and let them cool for a minute or two. Slice into wedges like a pizza and sprinkle with dried oregano and garlic powder before serving.

Notes

Customize with your favorite pizza toppings such as cooked sausage, mushrooms, or pineapple for added variety.
Use whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas to accommodate dietary preferences or restrictions.
Serve with marinara sauce or ranch dressing for dipping to enhance the flavor experience.
