If you’re looking for a new way to eat pizza, this “pizzadilla” recipe is just the thing you need. Think of it as a sort of thin crusted deep-dish pizza— two tortillas encase a generous layer of pizza sauce and cheese, which is topped off with another spreading of sauce, cheese and anything else that you like or just happen to have in the kitchen.

At the risk of being hyperbolic, this recipe is likely to change the way you view homemade pizza forever. It’s simply the perfect mix of speedy, easy and mouthwatering savoryness.

Also, as someone slightly intimidated by the notion of making homemade pizza dough, I like the fact that you can buy the “crust” for a pizzadilla conveniently packaged in resealable bags and store it for days in your pantry.

I think the best way to make pizzadillas is in single-servings, that way each person gets one made exactly how they want them. Honestly, smaller tortillas are also what happen to fit in my cast iron skillet. You should make these as big or as small as you want. The ingredients below are for one that’s about 8 inches wide.
