Calzonedilla (Italian Quesadilla) image

This is yummy. My wife wanted a snack one late night and because of a lack of ingredients, I had to improvise. Makes a tasty quick snack! Try it with broccoli or grilled chicken strips.

Time 10m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 flour tortilla
1/2 cup part-skim mozzarella cheese (shredded)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon basil leaves
1/2 teaspoon oregano leaves
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon parmesan cheese (optional)
1/4 cup tomato sauce (optional)
1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Heat a large skillet on medium-high.
  • Add olive oil.
  • When skillet is heated, put tortilla in pan (make sure to move tortilla around in pan to spread out oil, if it stays in one place).
  • Add mozzarella cheese, then herbs, spices and optional ingredients to one half of tortilla.
  • Fold tortilla over onto ingredients.
  • Use a lid from a large pot or skillet to cover (helps to melt cheese faster).
  • Cook for about 30-45 seconds, or until tortilla starts to get light brown spots.
  • Flip tortilla, cover and cook for an additional 30-45 seconds, also until light brown spots.
  • Serve hot.
