- Evenly divide/sprinkle cheese on top of each tortilla, leaving a margin around the edges. Follow with 6 slices of pepperoni on top of each pizzadilla. If desired, add any additional toppings.
- Gently press remaining 4 corn tortillas over each pizzadilla.
- Over medium-high heat, heat enough oil in a pan to lightly coat the surface of pan. Once oil is hot, place one pizzadilla in pan. Cook just until bottom is golden brown and crisp. gently flip with a large spatula and repeat with other side. Slice as desired and serve immediately.

- For a pizzadilla party: Place your ingredients in individual dishes. Let everyone build their own pizza quesadilla the way they like it
- Leave a margin around edges so that sauce doesn't leak when cooking.
- Do remind all the pizzadilla builders to leave a margin at the edges; otherwise, some of the good stuff will seep out onto the pan instead of onto their plates.
- Have all the fixings available to use in separate containers, preferably containers with lids. That way, when the party is over, you can easily pack leftovers away.
- It's best to have at least 2 pans going on the stovetop; a cooking buddy is ideal.
- Nonstick pans make for easy cooking and cleanup in this scenario.
- Be sure oil is sizzling hot prior to putting down each quesadilla; this ensures each one cooks up crisp and browned, without being too greasy.
- Have plenty of finger foods and snacks on the side: Gluten Free Ranch Snack Mix and 7-Layer Mexican Dip are absolute favorites.
