I’m always looking for easy and quick recipes & these are a huge hit for my 3 grandsons!! The oldest would eat these for every meal if I let him. Thanks. -
I make this frequently and serve it with warmed marinara to dip the wedges into. It is a hit usually for everyone (including me and hubby) who eats it, and so simple and fast. Thanks for posting this on Recipezaar! -
Cheap and easy!!! i have a quesadilla maker so its soo much cooler in the house during the summer to just plug in the quesadilla maker in stead of heating up the oven -
Wow, this is one of those "why didn't I think of that" recipes!You posted a recipe that finally got my kids and I out of a boring lunch time rut of the same old same old. New recipes don't always go over well with my 5 yr old and 17 month old, but they both inhaled these! I used whole wheat tortillas & mixed some part skim mozzarella with 2% cheddar for the cheese. I also used turkey pepperoni & a fresh marinara I made with garden ripe tomatoes & fresh basil. Super yummy lunch that the mommy (me :) ) loved as much as the kids. My daughter calls them pizzadillas and asks for them often now. Can't wait to make one for a snack for my hubby! Thanks! -
Great recipe, I make these alot for my picky son when he doesn't like what I am cooking. I sometimes skip the sauce and spread half with butter and sprinkle with garlic powder then add the pepperonis and cheese. I use two whole tortillas one as the bottom and one as the top then cut into eight pieces. Thanks for posting this great recipe.

<p>I am a stay-at-home mom to three great kids. Their ages are 6, 4, and 2 months. My oldest started school this year, but I still love getting to stay home with my other two. When I get some me time, I love surfing the internet, reading and watching T.V.</p>
<p>I'm not that great of a cook and don't cook that often. Honestly, I mess up dishes more often than not, so I almost always do super-easy foolproof meals...like hot dogs and fries. I would love to be the mom that can make anything from scratch...but I have a long way to go.</p>
