4 to 6 ounces pepperoni slices
→ Vegetable Filling

1 teaspoon olive oil or unsalted butter

1/4 cup diced onion

1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning

Salt, to taste

Black pepper, to taste
# Steps:
01 -
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced onion and bell peppers. Season with Italian seasoning, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Sauté for 3 to 4 minutes or until vegetables are softened. Remove from skillet and reserve.
02 -
Spread marinara sauce evenly over one side of each tortilla. Evenly distribute the sautéed vegetables, pepperoni slices, and mozzarella cheese over four tortillas. Cover with the remaining tortillas to form sandwich-style quesadillas.
03 -
Return skillet to medium heat. Cook each quesadilla for 2 to 3 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until tortillas are golden and cheese is fully melted.
04 -
Remove quesadillas from skillet and let rest for 1 minute. Slice each into wedges and serve warm. Offer additional marinara sauce for dipping if desired.
# Notes:
01 -
Allow quesadillas to rest briefly before slicing to prevent cheese from spilling out.
