Gluten Free Pepperoni Pizza Quesadilla

LARavenscroft's Note:

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.

• Total Time: 13 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins

• 8 slices turkey pepperoni (Hormel brand is GF)
• ¼ cup 2% mozzarella cheese (Kraft)
• cooking spray

Directions:

1. Spread one half of the tortilla with the pizza sauce.
2. Top with half of the cheese.
3. Top with pepperoni.
4. Top with remaining cheese.
5. Fold top over.
6. Heat a grill pan over medium high heat.
7. Spray with oil.
8. Place quesadilla on grill pan.
9. Cook for 5 minutes and flip.
10. Cook for about 2-3 more minutes or until cheese is melted.
11. Cut into wedges and enjoy!

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

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!

The kids and I loved these for lunch. I didn't have any pepperoni but my oldest said he thought they would be better with it. I really didn't measure the pizza sauce or cheese. I just put the amount on I thought we would like. I will be making these more often.
