Ingredients Explained
- Low-Carb Tortilla
A keto-friendly tortilla serves as the “crust.” Choose:
Low-carb tortillas
Gluten-free tortillas
Regular tortillas (if not strict keto)
For best results, lightly butter the tortilla to achieve a golden, crispy exterior.
- Mozzarella Cheese (¼ cup)
Mozzarella melts beautifully and brings that classic stretchy cheese pull similar to pizza. It also adds fat and protein, keeping the meal keto-friendly and filling.
- Pepperoni (6–8 slices)
Pepperoni gives the quesadilla its signature pizza flavor. It crisps slightly when heated, adding savory richness and texture.
- Italian Seasoning (½ teaspoon)
A blend of oregano, basil, and thyme enhances the pizza taste. You can also add garlic powder or crushed red pepper for extra flavor.
- Marinara Sauce (for dipping)
For keto diets, Rao’s Marinara is recommended because of its low sugar content. Warming it enhances the dipping experience and adds that authentic “pizza sauce” finish.
