Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Toppings
- ½ lb pork sausage, cooked and crumbled
- 30 slices pepperoni
- ¼ cup jarred mushrooms, drained
Cheese
- 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Base and Seasoning
- 6 soft taco flour tortillas
- 1 tsp garlic powder
To Serve
- pizza sauce, warm
- cooking spray
Instructions
- Prepare the Tortilla: Lay a soft taco flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Evenly sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the entire tortilla. Then, on one half of the cheese-covered tortilla, layer the cooked and crumbled sausage, pepperoni slices, and jarred mushrooms. Finish by sprinkling garlic powder over the toppings to add a burst of flavor.
- Heat the Skillet: Place a large skillet over medium heat and spray lightly with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Allow the skillet to warm up fully before cooking the pizzadilla to ensure a crispy crust.
- Cook the Pizzadilla: Carefully transfer the prepared tortilla onto the hot skillet. Cook for about 1 minute until the cheese begins to melt slightly. Fold the cheese side of the tortilla over the toppings, creating a half-moon shape. Continue cooking for another 2 minutes, flipping with a spatula once or twice, until both sides turn a golden-brown and the cheese is fully melted inside.
- Serve: Remove the cooked pizzadilla from the skillet and cut it into wedges for easy eating. Serve warm accompanied by pizza sauce for dipping to enhance the pizza flavors.
Notes
- Use cooked pork sausage to avoid additional cooking time and ensure food safety.
- You can substitute mushrooms with your favorite pizza toppings like olives or bell peppers.
- For a crispier texture, cook the pizzadilla slightly longer but watch closely to prevent burning.
- Use a non-stick skillet or well-seasoned pan to avoid sticking and tearing the tortilla.
- Warm the pizza sauce before serving for the best dipping experience.
