Health is all about moderation right? In that case, you are going to love this healthy swap. Everyone knows that pizza is not a great healthy food. Which is really too bad because it’s just so good. Cheese. Crust, Toppings. It’s all good. But what if you could make it healthier? What if you could combine the flavor of pizza with the ease and deliciousness of a quesadilla? You can, my friend. And it is amazing. Enter the Pizzadilla.

Preparation

Step 1

Prep the ingredients by thinly slicing the vegetables and draining the olives and mushrooms. For each pizzadilla: Measure 1/3 cup of shredded cheese. Sprinkle half of the cheese over one half of the tortilla, add toppings and then sprinkle the rest of the cheese on top. Fold the empty side of the tortilla over the toppings.

Place the pizzadilla in a prewarmed skillet (medium heat) and cook until brown and crispy on the bottom. Carefully flip the pizzadilla over and cook until brown and crispy on the second side. Once both sides are crisp and the cheese is melted inside, slice into thirds with a pizza cutter. Dip in the pizza sauce prior to eating.
