Pizzadilla

We’ve done wraps, panini and flatbreads for sandwich night.  It was time to change it up a bit and break out the quesadillas.  Naturally, I started with a Pizzadilla.  It combined two of my favorite foods – Pizza and Mexican.

I made these Pizzadillas with our favorite pizza toppings – sausage, turkey pepperoni and mushrooms (in Chicken Legs).  Feel free to substitute your favorite toppings.  I used La Tortilla Factory tortillas.  They are “healthy” tortillas – high in fiber, low in carbs and great tasting!  Can’t beat that!  The Pizzadillas were wonderful!  We both gobbled them up.  These are so quick and easy to make.  They will be in our regular rotation for lunch and dinner!
