Pizza Quesadilla
Servings: 1
Ingredients
water, for cooking
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 yellow onion, diced
1/4 large green bell pepper, diced
1/2 cup sliced baby bell mushrooms
1 cup fresh spinach, roughly chopped
olive oil cooking spray
1 whole wheat tortilla
1/4 cup pizza sauce
pineapple tidbits
black olives
1/4 cup shredded cheese (I used Trader Joe’s vegan mozzarella “cheese”)
Directions
1. Line a small skillet with a thin layer of water.Ā Heat over medium-high heat until very hot.Ā Once hot, lower the heat to medium and add garlic, onion, peppers, and mushrooms.Ā Cook for approximately 6 to 8 minutes, or until softened.Ā Add additional water, as needed.
2. Add spinach.Ā Lower the heat to medium-low and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the spinach has wilted.
3. Preheat a griddle pan over medium heat.Ā Spray the pan with olive oil cooking spray.
4. Place the tortilla onto the pan.Ā Top half of the tortilla with pizza sauce, cooked vegetable mixture, additional desired toppings (I used pineapple and black olives), and cheese.
5. Fold the tortilla in half.Ā Cook for approximately 3 to 5 minutes on each side, or until golden-brown.
A perfectly crisp tortilla makes for the best quesadilla!
I made this for lunch on Sunday, and it was one of the simplest meals to throw together.
If you like pizza and you like quesadillas (honestly, who does not like either one of these two! ;)), then I can pretty much guarantee that this will make for the perfect lunch or snack for you!

How does the TJs cheese compare to Daiya? It’s cheaper so I’ve definitely thought about buying it before!
Well, you get what you pay for. It is good, but it is definitely not as good as Daiya :(.
Mmm what a perfect combo! Gotta love both those foods š
I know right? You’d be silly not to! š
I love all forms of pizza. This looks great!
Same here. It is definitely one of the greatest foods ever invented :).
This is pretty brilliant! I LOVE both quesadillas and pizza, but I’ve never thought of combining the two. Gosh, now the wheels are turning! I wonder what a pizza grilled cheese would be like!!
Hope you’re having a great week, Hannah! <3
Great minds must think alike because I already have a pizza grilled cheese on my meal plan for the coming weeks! š
Mmm! Love pizza!!
Agreed!! How can you not?!?
This sounds great! I love pizza and quesadillas! I really like pineapple cooked but have never been a fan of it on pizza, maybe it’s just the pizza places I tried it from.
I used to think pineapple on pizza was weird, but now I almost always add it to my veggie pizzas!
Mmm.. pizza and quesadilla – perfect combo! I’ve made a less healthy version of this before.. still healthier than a slice of pizza, though.
Definitely much healthier and still very tasty!
Yumo!! Agree about your reply to the above question…You can’t beat Daiya! I think its the only tapioca based one so that might be why it tastes the best.
Yes, Daiya is just plain awesome! It is usually worth it to me to just spend the extra money and get a great tasting product.
Oh YUM. Mail me one?
Sure! Not quite sure how good it will taste after a couple of days though..hopefully it reheats well? š
Perfect!! I like that there’s no pizza crust that has to be prepared. It keeps this nice and easy. š
Yes. And nice and easy is the best!!
I love both of those things! Great idea to combine then š
Thank you! It sure was tasty :).
yum! This sounds like a great, healthy way to get a pizza fix. Can I saw how much I love that you put pineapple on there? I don’t think I’ve ordered a pizza in the last 6 years without pineapple on it — it’s just so tasty! And then I can pretend that pizza is good for me because there’s fruit š
Pineapple on pizza is SO darn good!!! I love the added sweetness :).
Another great vegan recipe! What does the TJ vegan cheese taste like?
The TJ vegan cheese is decent, but if you are able to splurge a bit more on Daiya then I would stick with that!
Ohhhhh yes. Looks so stinkin amazing!! My hubbys fav pizza topping is pineapple, but Im not one for warmed fruit unless there is ice cream smothered on top of it š
Haha, ice cream tastes good with everything, doesn’t it? š
I’ve always loved pineapple on my pizza…GREAT thinking putting two of my favorite things together! Now I don’t have to fuss with pizza dough. Have a great weekend!
Pineapple on pizza is fantastic!!
I love anything pizza related! I’ve sort of done these before but left it open faced and baked it. yum!!!
I have done that, as well! So, so tasty :).
Perfect combo! I made something similar flat out but this is even better!
Both ways of making it are super delicious!!
I need to make these more, I always forget about quesadillas, but there are so many options!
Honestly, I forget about them a lot too. And then once I make them and remember how easy they are to make I always wonder why I do not make them more often!
these two are my two fav things – when combined YUM YUM YUM š
Major yum! š
those look so good, the crispy outsides look like the best part! I forget about pineapple as a pizza topping but what a great way to get some fruit and veggies in a dish!
I really love pineapple on pizza. Some people are not into it, but it is one of my favorite pizza toppings :).
I alwyas end up with quesadilla pizzas… chronic over-stuffer. š
Over stuffing is just inevitable!! š
This sounds so yummy! Quesadillas? Good. Pizza? Good. Together? Best.
You had better believe it! š
Agreed – I never have met someone who doesn’t like pizza or quesadillas… Best of both worlds!
Seriously, they really are :).
Girl…no you didn’t! Put pizza and quesadillas together. You really are a genius! š
Haha, you are giving me WAY too much credit! š I guess sometimes the simplest ideas are the best ones!
YUM! This looks so good, and I agree…the TJ’s cheese is NO where near as good as Daiya!
It really isn’t…so disappointing because it is much more affordable!
If only I could hire you to be my personal chef, lady! Your recipes are incredible š
Haha, you are too funny! š
Two of my absolute favorite things combined, yes please! This meal looks so amazing!!
I seem to really like combining my favorite foods. Perfect example: my chili soup pizza! š
pizza in quesadilla form?! Um, yes please.
It sure is awfully tasty :).
This looks great, thanks for sharing!
Please let me know if you give it a try! š
ohh, for a second there I thought it was a taco.. haha.. Looks yummy! Soon to be in my tummy! (if i manage to master the recipe… š )
