How to Make Pizzadillas – Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Preheat the broiler: Set your oven to broil. In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
  2. Assemble the base layer: Place one tortilla in the skillet. Spread half of the pizza sauce, garlic, mozzarella, Parmesan, and pepperoni on top. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning.
  3. Top with second tortilla: Place the second tortilla on top and cook until the bottom is golden and the cheese is melty.
  4. Flip the pizzadilla: Use a large plate to invert the pizzadilla, then slide it back into the skillet cooked-side up.
  5. Add toppings: Spread remaining pizza sauce, cheese, and pepperoni on top. Sprinkle Italian seasoning again.
  6. Broil to finish: Place the skillet under the broiler and cook for 2 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and the pepperoni is crispy.
  7. Garnish and serve: Top with chopped parsley and slice into wedges. Enjoy!
