Basic Ingredients
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup pizza sauce plus more for dipping, if desired
- 3 cups shredded cheese mozzarella or Italian blend
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Optional Toppings
- pepperoni
- sliced olives
- ground sausage
- onion
- bell pepper
- jalapeño or yellow peppers or sweet pepper rings
- baby spinach leaves
- fresh mushrooms sliced
Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce over each tortilla.
On one half of a tortilla, sprinkle a little bit of Italian seasoning, cheese, and other desired toppings. Fold the tortilla in half, bringing the half without toppings up and folding it over the top.
Grease a skillet with a little bit of butter or non-stick cooking spray. Cook filled tortilla for 2-3 minutes on each side, flipping once, until toasted on the outside and cheese is melted in the center.
Remove from heat, cut into wedges and serve. Dip in extra marinara sauce or ranch, if desired.
