Method

1
Warm a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
2
Lay one tortilla flat and scatter an even layer of mozzarella over the whole surface, then arrange pepperoni slices on top of the cheese so every bite gets some.
3
Top with a second tortilla and press down gently to help it hold together.
4
Place the quesadilla in the skillet and cook for 2–3 minutes, until the bottom tortilla is golden brown with light spots and the cheese underneath has started to melt.
5
Carefully flip using a wide spatula and cook the second side another 2–3 minutes, pressing lightly, until golden and the cheese is fully melted and pepperoni is warmed through.
6
Transfer to a cutting board and let it sit for 1 minute so the cheese sets slightly, then slice into wedges with a pizza cutter.
7
Warm the pizza sauce briefly in the microwave or a small saucepan and serve alongside the wedges for dipping.
