Pizza-dilla is a cheesy snack that combines the flavors of two popular dishes- pizza and quesadilla. It is a great option for a quick lunch, dinner, or even an appetizer at a party. The tortilla is topped with pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese, and pepperoni, and then folded in half to create a crispy and melty snack. You can easily customize this recipe by adding your favorite toppings, such as mushrooms, onions, or bell peppers. Serve it with a side of marinara sauce for dipping and enjoy!

Instructions

1.	Spread pizza sauce evenly over the flour tortilla.
2.	Add grated mozzarella cheese and spread it evenly over the pizza sauce.
3.	Add pepperoni on one half of the pizza-dilla.
4.	Fold the other half over to form a half-moon and press down gently.
5.	Heat a medium-sized skillet over medium heat. Once it's hot, add the pizza-dilla to the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is crispy.
6.	Once cooked, remove from the heat and let it cool for a minute before slicing it into wedges and serving it.
