Preparing the Ingredients

Assembling the Pizzadillas

Lay a flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a tablespoon of pizza sauce evenly over half of the tortilla. Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheese on top of the sauce, then distribute slices of pepperoni and sprinkle with dried oregano.

Once cooked, remove from the skillet and let it rest for a minute. Cut into wedges and serve hot. For extra flavor, consider topping with fresh basil or a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
