Following these steps will lead you to create the most delicious Pizza Quesadilla with Mozzarella and Pepperoni:
1. Heat the Pan: Place a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil, allowing it to warm.
2. Prepare the Tortilla: Lay one tortilla flat in the skillet.
3. Layer Cheese and Pepperoni: Sprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese evenly over the tortilla. Add half of the pepperoni slices on top.
4. Add Seasoning (Optional): If desired, sprinkle the Italian seasoning and garlic powder over the toppings.
5. Top with Another Tortilla: Place a second tortilla on top, pressing gently to ensure everything adheres.
6. Cook Until Golden: Cook for about 3-4 minutes or until the bottom tortilla is golden brown. Carefully flip the quesadilla using a spatula.
