Notes

  • You can easily customize your pizza quesadilla by adding any favorite pizza toppings such as sausage, olives, or even pineapple.
  • If your quesadilla is too thick or has a lot of toppings, you may need to adjust the cooking time slightly.
  • For a healthier version, use whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas, and load up on vegetables.
