I have been itching to make a quesadilla pizza recipe since I started to cook. Why it took this long I have no idea! After I made this recipe, I am not even ashamed to admit that I wolfed down the entire thing in about 2 minutes flat!
This particular quesadilla pizza is made with sausage, pepperoni and bell peppers, but feel free to be creative with the toppings you want to put on this beautiful dish. Pretty much anything goes with this one but I must say the pepperoni and sausage are DAMN GOOD together!

Thanks Sandy! If you like cheesy – greasy food then you are in for a treat.
I’m loving the photography in this post. You know it’s working when you look at it and it seems like you can taste it! I also think the layering of two tortillas (stuffed, no less) for the crust is genius!
Smorgasborg pizze – cant beat it. Love to make it because it is easy and adaptable.
