These 5-Ingredient Pizza Quesadillas combine turkey pepperoni, mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes, and melty mozzarella cheese sandwiched between golden, crispy tortillas for a quick and delicious snack or meal that’s easy to make in under 30 minutes.

  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 6 quesadillas

Ingredients

Filling Ingredients

  • 8 oz Baby Bella Mushrooms, roughly chopped
  • 3 oz Turkey Pepperoni, diced
  • 3 oz Sun Dried Tomatoes in Oil

Cheese & Tortillas

  • 6 oz Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
  • 6 Tortillas (6″ size, I used Mission Carb Balance)

Instructions

  1. Cook Mushrooms and Pepperoni: Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced turkey pepperoni and roughly chopped mushrooms. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms brown and shrink and the pepperoni starts to crisp. Be careful to avoid burning.
  2. Add Sun-Dried Tomatoes: Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes into the skillet mixture and combine everything well. Then transfer this filling to a bowl and set aside.
  3. Prepare Quesadillas: Reduce skillet heat to medium-low and place one tortilla flat in the skillet. On one half, layer 1/2 oz (about 14g) shredded mozzarella, then spread 45g (approximately 3 tablespoons) of the pepperoni-mushroom-tomato filling, and top with another 14g of mozzarella cheese.
  4. Cook and Fold: Fold the empty half of the tortilla over the filling. Press down gently and cook until the cheese melts and the tortilla is golden brown on the bottom, then carefully flip to brown the other side. This usually takes a few minutes per side. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling. You can cook 2 quesadillas at once once you get comfortable.
  5. Serve: Remove from skillet and slice each quesadilla into 3 triangles. Serve warm with marinara sauce or your choice of dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Ensure the skillet isn’t too hot to avoid burning the tortillas before cheese melts.
  • You can substitute turkey pepperoni with regular pepperoni or your favorite cured meat.
  • Sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil add extra flavor and moisture; drain excess oil if desired.
  • Use a spatula to press down gently on the quesadilla to help melt the cheese evenly.
  • Serve immediately for best texture; quesadillas can be reheated in a pan or oven to regain crispiness.
