carmen's kitch: Pizzadillas

I can't begin to explain to y'all how much fun it's been to move into a new house and begin nesting! This week, I've learned about natural rugs and the significant differences between jute, sisal, and seagrass for my dining room. Here is a link to the jute rug I'm pining after. I applied a coat of Swilley's wood rub to my reclaimed trestle table. I kept my ferns and garden watered, and gave all the rabbits the stink eye to warn them against digging under my garden fence. I'm having a blast, though it's been awhile since I cooked my husband a nice dinner.

When this recipe popped up on my pinterest feed, I knew it was meant to be. We LOVE pizza, and I'm always looking for new healthy or easy variations. Nothing beats real pizza, but I was simply not in the mood to fuss with homemade crust, especially when I have to decide on the perfect shade of gray to paint the nursery! Priorities, friends.

Pizzadillas

6 large (10-12 inch) flour tortillas

Olive oil

1/4 cup parmesan cheese

16 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded

Dried oregano or Italian Seasoning

1 jar pizza sauce or marinara, heated

Pizza toppings:

Sliced black olives

Pepperoni

Cooked Italian sausage

Thinly sliced green peppers (cook for 1-2 minutes in the microwave to soften a bit)

Prep
all toppings and cheese and have them close-by as the pizzadillas cook
quickly and you need to be able to get everything assembled fast. I set
everything out by the stove in small ramekins (because they look great
on my pretend cooking show).

Heat
large skillet over medium-high heat. Add about a tablespoon of olive
oil and swirl pan to coat. Add tortilla to pan. Sprinkle with a little
parmesan then a good handful of mozzarella (about a heaping cup).
Sprinkle on a little oregano or Italian seasoning. Place desired
toppings on cheese.

Lift
up one side of the tortilla after about 1-2 minutes to see if it has
browned. Once it’s nicely browned and crispy, fold half of
the tortilla over onto the other half. Remove from pan and cut into
wedges.

Serve with pizza sauce or marinara for dipping.
