Here’s what you get when pizza meets a quesadilla: pizzadilla! It’s the marriage of two classic American staples with its roots in Italy and Mexico. We love all kinds of wacky food combinations, so this pizza quesadilla is a must-try recipe.

A pizzadilla is essentially a warm flour tortilla filled with pizza ingredients, such as marinara sauce, cheese, and toppings.

It makes a quick on-the-go snack idea for adults and an enticing lunch for your school-aged children.

Kids need fuel to get through a long day of learning, and it’s discouraging to open up their lunch boxes at the end of the day and find half their food untouched. Well, this is a lunch they’ll actually enjoy and finish.

TikToker Michelle (@adalynnslunchbox) is documenting the lunch she’s making for her daughter Adalynn, and it includes the child-favorite finger food, pizzadilla.

It’s a wonderful alternative to the boring ham and cheese sandwiches. Sometimes, you just have to get creative.

Michelle starts by using a star-shaped cookie cutter to cut a tortilla into pieces. Food is just a lot more appetizing when they’re presented in fun shapes.

Next, set the scraps aside to make something yummy later.

Spread marinara sauce on the star-shaped tortillas, then follow that up with shredded cheese and pepperoni.

Take another tortilla star, spoon the sauce on it, and place it on top of the other to sandwich the toppings together. Repeat for each pizzadilla.

Heat them in a pan until they’re golden, and that’s all there is to it! Can you believe such a short list of ingredients yields such delicious results?

Michelle paired the pizzadillas with a side salad to generate a nutritious meal. Then, using the leftover tortilla scraps, she made some cinnamon tortilla chips for dessert. Finally, she completed her daughter’s lunch with applesauce and chunks of mango.

Will you be packing this lunch for your kids?
