Gluten Free Pepperoni Pizza Quesadilla

"In my quest for gluten-free, yeast-free pizza, I'm always trying different things to get that pizza taste that I crave but can't have. One day a few months ago I was really craving pizza while I was at the grocery store, so I bought some pizza sauce, turkey pepperoni and mozarella cheese and this is what I came up with. Not quite the same thing as the pizza I remember, but a pretty close second and it's ready in a pinch! Note: I've also made this with Italian turkey sausage or just plain cheese depending on my mood."

  1. Delicious!It is much better than I thought and nice a gooey.I have really been craving these and finally found a good way to make them.I am eating one right now.
     
  2. Yummy pizza snacks! I used corn tortillas instead of rice flour ones (Mission brand are gluten-free), otherwise made as directed. With a little cooking spray the tortillas cooked up nice and crispy, great with the pizza fillings and gooey cheese. Thanks for sharing your recipe!

  3. Sensational! I have only made Mexican pizza with tortillas in the oven, and really loved this stove top method. It was really quick, did taste like pizza, and curbed the pizza craving. I used tomato paste and herbs instead of pizza sauce, since that is what we had, and flipped them the first time after 2-3 minutes, turning the heat down so they wouldn't burn. This was my first time using Food for Life's GF tortillas, and they were actually tasty - head and shoulders above the last 2 brands of GF tortillas I have tried. We made three of these for two people for dinner with salad.
     
  4. I often use pita bread to make pizza but I had never tried it on tortillas. It was a nice change for lunch. Made for 123 Hits Tag
     
  5. These were really good. I love pizza, I love quesadillas, so it was a great mix of the two. I used regular pepperoni since I don't need it to be gluten free, but otherwise made as directed. This would be great kid food, but is great for adults too ;) Made this for a light lunch. Thanks for sharing!
