Pepperoni Pizzadillas, My First Pinterest Recipe

As a I've mentioned on this blog, I'm a foodie. I love to eat, but I'm not a huge cook. That's all changed now that I've joined Pinterest. It's not only food porn, but it has recipes anyone can make. I've even created a board called Super Easy Recipes. I came across a recipe for pepperoni pizza quesadillas or pizzadillas as I like to call them via Snixy Kitchen. As soon as I saw the photos I was hooked. I pretty much followed Snixy Kitchen's recipe, but I switched out a couple ingredients. Instead of regular pepperoni I used turkey pepperoni and instead of regular mozzarella cheese I used reduced-fat mozzarella cheese. I also cooked the turkey pepperoni in the microwave. How did it turn out? Well my girlfriend enjoyed it!

Pepperoni Pizzadillas Ingredients - Serves 1 (total 650 calories) or 2 (total 325 calories)

• 2 whole wheat flour tortillas from Trader Joe's (380 calories)
• 1/2 cup reduced fat mozzarella cheese from Target (140 calories)
• 1/2 cup pizza sauce by Ragu (60 calories)
• 17 slices turkey pepperoni by Hormel (70 calories)

1. Cook turkey pepperoni in the microwave for 30 to 60 seconds (depends on how crispy you like them, I prefer crispy)

 2. Using only 1/4 cup of the pizza sauce, spread thin layers on one side of the two tortillas. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of the cheese on top of one the tortillas (sauce side). Next, layer the pepperonis on top of the cheese and sprinkle the remaining cheese on top of that. Take the other tortilla and lay it on top like you're making a sandwich (pizza sauce should be on the inside).

3. Next heat skillet to medium heat. Use a squirt of olive oil spray and lay the pizzadilla in the pan. Cook for 3-5 minutes on each side or until the tortilla is nice and crispy.

4. Cut into quarters and enjoy with the remaining pizza sauce for dipping :)

I made my pizzadilla extra crispy and threw in some salad because I need my veggies!
