Recipe: Pizza Quesadillas

I love this recipe because it's a way to use up leftovers, like extra tortillas, but with a little bit of a twist.

Pizza Quesadillas
4 tortillas
1 1/4 cups grated mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup pasta or pizza sauce
6 slices vegetarian pepperoni, cut into thin strips (optional)
1 tablespoon olive oil

Place tortillas on a flat surface. Divide 3/4 cup of the cheese between the tortillas, sprinkling it on one half of each. Top cheese with pasta sauce and pepperoni, then divide remaining 1/2 cup cheese between tortillas, sprinkling it on top of the pepperoni. Fold tortillas over, pressing down lightly. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Arrange 2 tortillas in skillet and cook, turning once, until golden brown on both sides. Repeat process with remaining tortillas. Allow quesadillas to cool slightly, then cut each into triangles and serve.

I'm not a fan of pepperoni, so I'll substitute cooked chicken strips instead, or add whatever veggies I have on hand. I like using things like broccoli florets or slices of tomato.
