Instructions
Making Italian Quesadillas is both simple and rewarding. Follow these steps to create your own:
1. Prep the Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients and prepare the bell pepper by slicing it thinly.
2. Mix Cheese Filling: In a bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
3. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
4. Assemble Quesadilla: Place one tortilla in the skillet. Spread half of the cheese mixture on one half of the tortilla. Add a layer of sliced pepperoni or salami and bell pepper.
5. Fold and Cook: Fold the tortilla in half over the fillings. Cook for 3-4 minutes until golden brown, then flip and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes until crispy and the cheese is melted.
6. Repeat Steps: Remove the cooked quesadilla and repeat the process for the remaining tortillas. Add more olive oil to the skillet as needed.
7. Slice and Serve: Once all quesadillas are cooked, slice them into wedges for easy eating.
