Getting dinner on the table fast is always top on a Mom’s list, especially during the busy school year. How about a 15 minute meal?
The best of both worlds – Italian and Mexican – come together in these super quick, 15 minute Pizza Quesadillas that your family is sure to fall in love with.
Our boys love quesadillas, and of course love pizza, so when I spotted this recipe in the Gooseberry Patch Simple Shortcuts Cookbook, I quickly added it to our menu plan.
The typical pizza ingredients fill the warmed tortillas and the mozzarella cheese is piled high. Serve them with our 5 minute Pizza Sauce on the side for dipping if you like.
Have a little extra time? You may want to make your own Flour Tortillas.

Yum! We made pepperoni grilled cheese sandwiches recently, we’ll have to definitely try these out too! Quesadillas are great finger foods for my littles!
Thanks for stopping by Tiffany! I hope your family enjoys the Pizza Quesadillas.

my kids make these for themselves for a quick lunch…although we only use pizza sauce, cheese, and pepperoni on them.
