Low-Carb • Quick • Crispy • Cheesy
A cheesy, crispy keto twist on your favorite pizza—made quesadilla-style in under 10 minutes! Perfect for a quick lunch, dinner, or snack.
🧾 Ingredients
1 large low-carb or gluten-free tortilla, lightly buttered
1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
6–8 pepperoni slices
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Garlic powder, to taste
Rao’s Marinara or other keto-friendly sauce, for dipping
🍽 Equipment Needed
Skillet or non-stick frying pan
Spatula
Knife (for slicing)
Small bowl (for dipping sauce)
👨‍🍳 Instructions
Heat the Skillet
Place your skillet over medium heat.
Assemble the Quesadilla
Lay the buttered tortilla in the pan (buttered side down if only one side).
On one half, sprinkle mozzarella cheese, pepperoni, Italian seasoning, and a dash of garlic powder.
Cook Until Golden
Let cook uncovered for 2–3 minutes, until the bottom is crispy and the cheese is starting to melt.
Fold & Flip
Carefully fold the tortilla in half over the filling and flip. Cook for another 1–2 minutes until both sides are golden and crispy.
Slice & Serve
Remove from the skillet, slice into wedges, and serve with warm marinara dipping sauce.
❄️ Storage & Reheating
Refrigerator: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Freezer: Not recommended—the tortilla may become soggy.
Reheating: Reheat in a skillet or air fryer at 350°F for 3–5 minutes to restore crispiness. Avoid microwaving for best texture.
