Instructions

Prepare the vegetables and toppings: Thinly slice the bell pepper and red onion. Drain the sliced black olives and canned mushrooms thoroughly to remove excess liquid, ensuring they won’t make the pizzadillas soggy during cooking.
Assemble the pizzadillas: For each pizzadilla, measure out 1/3 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese. Place a tortilla flat and sprinkle half of the cheese evenly over one half of the tortilla. Layer your choice of pepperoni slices, bell pepper, red onion, olives, and mushrooms on top of the cheese. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the toppings, then fold the empty half of the tortilla over the filled side to create a half-moon shape.
Cook the pizzadillas: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the assembled pizzadilla in the preheated skillet. Cook it until the bottom side is golden brown and crispy, about 3-5 minutes. Carefully flip the pizzadilla over and cook the other side until also golden and crispy and the cheese inside has melted completely, about another 3-5 minutes.
Serve: Remove the pizzadilla from the skillet and let it cool slightly. Slice into thirds with a pizza cutter for easy eating. Serve warm with the thick and rich pizza sauce for dipping.

Be sure to drain the canned mushrooms and olives well to avoid soggy pizzadillas.
