Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon olive oil or butter
- ¼ cup yellow onion, diced
- ½ cup green bell pepper, diced
- ½ cup sliced pepperoni
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional, for extra flavor)
- 4 large flour tortillas
- ½ cup pizza sauce, plus extra for dipping
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh parsley or basil, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add the diced onion and bell pepper, then cook for 3–4 minutes until softened.
- Stir in the pepperoni and cook for another minute until slightly crisp.
- Remove the mixture from the skillet and set aside.
- Place one tortilla in the skillet and spread a thin layer of pizza sauce over half of it.
- Sprinkle with mozzarella and cheddar cheese.
- Add the cooked pepperoni and vegetable mixture.
- Season with Italian seasoning and garlic powder, then sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
- Fold the tortilla in half and cook for 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the cheese has melted.
- Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
- Slice into wedges and serve hot with warm pizza sauce for dipping.
Tips
- Add cooked mushrooms, black olives, jalapeños, or cooked sausage for extra flavor.
- Use whole wheat tortillas for a healthier twist.
- Cook over medium heat to ensure the tortilla gets crispy without burning while the cheese melts.
