For "National Pizza Day" this year (February 9th) we decided to go a whole other route. In year's past, we ordered out or let the kids create their own pizzas. This year, we broke out the Quesadilla maker and OH MY YUM! The recipe below is for those who do not have a Quesadilla Maker and need to go the pan route. The kids said they could eat these once a week and...no silverware needed! This recipe was found in Woman's World Magazine. Perfect for the busy mother!
Ingredients:
2 cups pizza sauce
8 (6") flour tortillas (you can also use whole-wheat tortillas)
2 cups fancy shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
2 tsp. dried oregano
1/2 cup pepperoni minis
Butter
Warmed marinara sauce
Directions: Spread 1/4 cup pizza sauce over each tortilla. Dividing evenly, top each tortilla with cheese, then oregano and pepperoni. Set iron skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Add 1 Tbs butter. When butter is melted, transfer 1 tortilla to skillet, toppings-side up. Cook 30 seconds or until cheese begins to melt. Using spatula, fold one side of tortilla over the other. Cook for a few more seconds; flip it over and continue to cook just until lightly browned. Remove from skillet and transfer to paper-towel-lined plate. Continue to cook the rest, adding more butter as needed. Cut into wedges. Serve immediately with marinara sauce. Makes 16 servings.
Use for a weeknight dinner or for snacking!
