Pizza Quesadillas! Woo! This one’s a special treat for the kids, who love tortillas, broccoli, and pizza to an almost inexplicable degree. Today, I’ve managed to combine all three in a Beef Broccoli Pizzadilla. This is another recipe that’s easy to veganize with Daiya cheese.
Beef Broccoli Pizza Quesadillas
Ingredients
1/2 cup broccoli florets, finely chopped
1/4 cup Lentil and Rice Ground Beef Substitute
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
8 small tortillas
1/4 cup marinara sauce, plus more for dipping, if desired
1 cup cheese, shredded (I used a mix of Mozzarella and cheddar)
Method
Combine broccoli, beef and Italian seasoning in a small bowl.
Heat a griddle or pan over medium heat.
Place 4 tortillas on the griddle and spread 1 tablespoon sauce over each tortilla.
Top with about 2 tablespoons cheese each and a quarter of the beef-broccoli mix.
Top with remaining cheese and tortillas.
Grill for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until cheese is melted and tortilla is crisped to the desired amount.
Slice into quarters or eighths with a pizza cutter and serve with additional sauce for dipping
The Results
My husband and I loved these, and he was pretty skeptical before trying them. The kids went pretty crazy for them.
