PIZZA QUESADILLAS

Easy and FAST, these Pizza Quesadillas are a healthy dinner that’s ready in just 15 minutes! A kid favorite, the “pizzadillas” can be customized for each individual diner — keep them vegetarian, load them up with pepperoni, or make them simple and cheesy with just 3 basic ingredients!

Two of my boys’ favorite meals are quesadillas and pizza (typical, right?), so why not combine them? I told you this was kid-friendly! Since I almost always have mozzarella, marinara sauce, and tortillas in my pantry, these easy Pizza Quesadillas are a great last-minute lunch or dinner option that I don’t need to shop for.
