A Pizzadilla or Pizza wrap is a quick and easy lunch or dinner idea made with very simple ingredients. A pizzadilla is simply a quesadilla filled with all your favorite pizza toppings. This delicious fusion of warm gooey pizza and crisp quesadilla is ready in 30 minutes and its fully customizable with your choice of ingredients.
Ingredients:
Pizza sauce: Any store bought pizza sauce will work or you can use marinara sauce.
Flour Tortillas: Large tortillas work better as they can fit good amount of toppings .Those with gluten sensitivity can easily use gluten free tortilla.
Cheese: I like to use shredded mozzarella but cheddar will work too.
Veggies: Onions, peppers, mushrooms and olives work well. Use any vegetable you have on hand. Some pickled jalapenos will add a spicy kick to it.
Seasoning: I used Italian seasoning. Pizza seasoning can also be used.
Basil : For authentic Italian flavor.
Pizza Wrap Pizzadilla
Ingredients
- 2 large Flour Tortillas use Gluten-free if preferred
- 4 tbsp Pizza Sauce or Marinara sauce
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese shredded (or Cheddar)
- Veggies choose your favorites:
- 1/4 cup Onions thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup Bell peppers Capsicum, sliced
- 2-3 Mushrooms thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp Black olives sliced
- Pickled Jalapeños optional, for a spicy kick
- 1 tsp Italian Seasoning or Pizza Seasoning
- 4-5 Fresh Basil leaves torn
- 1 tbsp Butter or Oil for grilling
Instructions
- Prepare the Tortilla
- Place a large flour tortilla on a clean, flat surface. Spread about 2 tablespoons of pizza sauce evenly over the entire surface of the tortilla, leaving about half an inch at the edge.
- Add the Fillings
- On one half of the tortilla, sprinkle a generous layer of shredded mozzarella cheese. Layer your prepared vegetables (onions, peppers, mushrooms, and olives) over the cheese.
- Season
- Sprinkle the Italian seasoning and torn fresh basil leaves over the vegetables. Add another small sprinkle of cheese on top of the veggies; this acts as "glue" to keep the wrap together when folded.
- Fold
- Carefully fold the empty half of the tortilla over the filling to create a semi-circle (half-moon shape).
- Grill the Pizzadilla
- Heat a flat pan or tawa over medium-low heat and add a little butter or oil. Once hot, place the folded wrap onto the pan.
- Cook Until Crispy
- Press down gently with a spatula. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and crispy. Carefully flip the wrap and cook the other side for another 2 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted and the exterior is toasted.
- Serve
- Remove from the pan and let it rest for a minute so the cheese sets slightly. Use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to cut into wedges. Serve hot with the Creamy Garlic Dip or additional marinara sauce.
