Mini pizza-dillas are a hybrid of pizza and quesadillas, made by sandwiching marinara sauce, shredded mozzarella cheese, and pepperoni between two mini tortillas, and cooking them until crispy and golden. These mini pizza-dillas are great for game days, picnics, or for lunchbox or after-school snacks. They are perfect for kids and adults who love pizza and quesadillas.

Instructions

1.	Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
2.	Place 1 mini tortilla into the pan and evenly spread 1 Tbsp of marinara sauce over the top.
3.	Add about 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese over the marinara.
4.	Arrange 8-10 pieces of pepperoni over the cheese.
5.	Top with another mini tortilla and press gently to flatten the ingredients together.
6.	Cook until cheese melts and the bottom of the tortilla is browned, about 2-3 minutes.
7.	Flip carefully and continue cooking the other side until it's golden brown.
8.	Remove from the pan and repeat with the remaining mini tortillas and toppings.

CONS

These mini pizza-dillas can be high in calories and sodium, depending on the marinara sauce and the amount of cheese and pepperoni used.

They should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

The mini tortillas used in this recipe are typically made from a mixture of wheat flour and corn masa flour.
Corn masa flour is gluten-free and is a good source of fiber and essential vitamins and minerals such as iron, magnesium, and zinc.
The marinara sauce contains tomatoes which are rich in lycopene, an antioxidant that can help reduce the risk of cancer and cardiovascular diseases.
