Keto Pepperoni Pizza Quesadillas

A quick, low-carb way to get all the cheesy, pepperoni-packed flavor of pizza without the crust.

Ingredients — 2 servings

• 4 low-carb/keto tortillas
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 16–20 slices pepperoni
• 2–3 tbsp pizza sauce, preferably low-sugar
• ¼ tsp Italian seasoning
• ¼ tsp garlic powder
• 1 tbsp grated Parmesan
• 1 tbsp butter or olive oil
• Optional: sliced olives, mushrooms, jalapeños, or bell peppers
• Optional: red pepper flakes for heat

Instructions

1. Heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or olive oil.
2. Place one tortilla in the skillet. Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce over half of it.
3. Add ½ cup mozzarella, half the pepperoni, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder.
4. Fold the tortilla in half and cook for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden and crisp and the cheese is melted.
5. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
6. Slice into wedges and serve with extra warm pizza sauce for dipping.

Keto tip

For the lowest carbs, choose tortillas with 1–5 g net carbs per serving and a pizza sauce with little or no added sugar. You can also make these with a cheese-based crust instead of tortillas for an even lower-carb version.

Approximate per serving: 400–500 calories, 25–35 g protein, 25–35 g fat, and roughly 5–10 g net carbs, depending on the tortillas and pepperoni you use.
