A gluten-free pizza quesadilla, or as my kids say: “pizza dippers” can be thrown together quick and is sure to be a lunch (or appetizer, or even dinner!) that everyone can enjoy!

These crisp up nicely and kind of remind me of those frozen pizza bites I used to eat as a kid, but I haven’t found gluten-free version of yet. But hey—not only is my version gluten-free, but all around healthier!

As a mama with young kids, meals are easier when they make everyone happy. But it’s absolute necessary to have meal ideas that are quick and easy.

I love experimenting with new recipes, but most of the time I come back to super simple recipes that I don’t have to think about to cook. You know—you can make it with toddlers pulling on your legs?

Gluten-free pizza quesadillas are one of those meals!

See my other tips for getting gluten-free meals on the table quickly and easily without added stress here!

Can you make these dairy free, vegan, or corn free?

Are you dairy free? Sub the mozzarella with some vegan cheese (I use Daiya because it’s certified gluten free—learn more about gluten-free certification and labeling here).

Are you a vegetarian? Sub your favorite toppings like black olives or mushrooms!

Don’t like corn tortillas? Swap out the corn tortillas for a brown rice tortilla.

This recipe can be easily modified to fit your needs.

Side note–there’s something about giving my kids food that can be eaten with fingers and dipped in sauce that makes them want to eat. Does anyone know what it is with kids and dip??

Course Main Course

Cuisine American

Servings 1

Ingredients

2 Corn Tortillas or other gluten-free tortilla of choice
1/4 cup shredded mozzarella see notes for dairy-free/vegan modifcation
4 slices pepperoni see notes for vegan modification
sprinkle Italian seasoning
1/2 cup tomato sauce of choice
gluten-free cooking spray

Instructions

Heat pan on medium heat.
Once heated, spray with cooking spray and lay a tortilla on top of the pan.
Sprinkle cheese, seasoning, and pepperonis on top of the tortilla. Place a lid on top of the pan so the cheese melts. It should take 1-2 minutes for the cheese to melt.
Once the cheese is melted, remove the lid and place second tortilla on top. Flip quesadilla and toast the other side for 1-2 minutes so both sides can be toasted.
Slice the quesadilla into triangles and dip in favorite pizza or pasta sauce

Notes

Products I Recommend:

This avocado oil spray by Chosen Foods is not only gluten-free, but avocado oil is great for high temp cooking and it doesn’t contain soy or other fillers.
While there are many gluten-free pepperoni products available, I love this one by Vermont Smoke and Cure.
I love seasoning blends from Spiceology–they are all gluten-free and their Italian seasoning is great!

Dietary Modifications:

Make this recipe dairy-free by subbing your favorite vegan cheese
Make this recipe vegan by subbing your your favorite vegan cheese and vegan pizza topping

I love to make a pizza like this with cashew cheese and tons of greens! But I'm going to upgrade it next time and put a second tortilla on top because damn that looks good 😍. Thank you for the inspiration!

Yay! I hope you enjoy! Do you make your own cashew cheese? Or do you have a specific brand that you like?

This sounds amazing! We often have pizza/movie nights on Fridays, we will totally try this out!

I hope you enjoy it!
