5 Minute Pepperoni Pizza Quesadilla

Pizza doesn’t have to be an empty indulgence … even pepperoni pizza!

Two of the easiest fix-it-up strategies right off the bat are simply to amp up the whole grains, while dialing back the fat in the toppings. A few smart substitutions can make all the difference!

This delicious quesadilla is a perfect example – it has all the family-favorite flavors of a pepperoni pizza, but is so much healthier, too!

Loaded with complex carbs and whole grains from the Flatout flatbread, plus protein from the reduced-fat cheese, turkey pepperoni and even the flatbread, too (9 grams of protein in one Light Italian Herb Flatout – no kidding!), this quesadilla has true keep-you-full staying power. And hey – we even snuck in some vitamins and all that great lycopene hanging out in the pizza sauce!

Plus, although this recipe is specifically designed as a Pepperoni Pizza Quesadilla, it could easily be adapted for whatever pizza toppings your family likes best. For a real nutritional upgrade, you can even ditch the pepperoni altogether and pile on some nutrient-rich veggies!

Add some fresh fruit or a few carrot sticks alongside, and you’ve got a hearty power snack or even a balanced meal – in just moments! Not bad for 5 minutes of work!

Pepperoni Pizza will never be quite the same!
