Ingredients
- 4 8-inch low-carb flour tortillas
- 2 ounces turkey pepperoni about 40–48 small slices depending on brand
- 1 cup about 112 g reduced-fat shredded mozzarella
- ½ cup pizza sauce divided
- ½ cup finely diced green bell pepper
- ½ cup finely chopped mushrooms
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes optional
- Cooking spray as needed
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil or parsley optional
Instructions
- Finely dice the bell pepper and mushrooms. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat, coat lightly with cooking spray, and sauté the vegetables for 3–4 minutes until softened and their excess moisture has evaporated. Transfer to a plate.
- Stir the Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and optional red pepper flakes into the pizza sauce.
- Measure the turkey pepperoni and cut larger slices into smaller pieces if needed.
- Lay one tortilla flat. Spread about 2 tablespoons seasoned pizza sauce over half, leaving a small border. Add one-quarter of the mozzarella, vegetables, and turkey pepperoni. Fold the tortilla over the filling.
- Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low to medium heat and lightly coat with cooking spray. Cook one quesadilla for 2–3 minutes until golden.
- Carefully flip and cook another 2–3 minutes until the second side is golden and the cheese has melted. Lower the heat and cover briefly if the cheese needs more time.
- Transfer to a cutting board and rest for 1–2 minutes. Slice into wedges and garnish with basil or parsley if desired. Serve warm.
