Instructions for Shamrock Pizzadillas
Regardless if you call them pizzadillas or pizza quesadillas, they’re so easy to make! Start by preheating your oven to 400 degrees. Use a shamrock cookie cutter to cut the center out of one of the tortillas and set the tortilla aside.
Place the other tortilla on a baking sheet. Layer on pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese, and your favorite pizza toppings. (We used mini pepperoni, black olives, and green peppers.) Cover the pizza ingredients with the shamrock tortilla. Bake for 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melty and the tortillas begin to turn golden around the edges. Serve with extra pizza sauce for dipping, if desired.
