PIZZADILLA (GRILLED PIZZA SANDWICH)
I was watching TV the other day, and I saw a commercial for something called a Papadilla. What follows is my attempt to make one of these things. What this relatively fast and easy procedure allows you to do is make a single portion of what's very, very close to pizza in a pan on top of the stove in just a few minutes, without ever having to turn on the oven. Serve your pizzadilla with a side salad topped with Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.

Steps:
- Divide dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a 1/8-inch thick circle on a lightly floured surface.
- Heat a pan over medium-high heat and brush with oil. Add 1 piece of dough and reduce heat to medium. Cook for 2 minutes and flip. Spread 1/4 of the sauce over the dough. Sprinkle 1/4 of the mozzarella cheese and some sausage, mushrooms, and red onion on top, leaving about 1/2 inch of dough around the outside. Press gently into the middle of the dough with a spatula to make a crease; fold in half.
- Brush crust with a little more olive oil and flip over. Repeat on the other side and continue cooking until both sides of the pizzadilla are as browned and crisp as you like.
- Repeat with remaining pizza dough and toppings. Cut each pizzadilla in half and serve.

Steps:
- Spread pizza sauce on one tortilla.
- Sprinkle with cheese.
- Add toppings of your choice, or add some extra cheese and keep it simple.
- Top with second tortilla.
- Spray the outside of the pizzadilla with spray butter or non-stick cooking spray. I find it easiest to spray the pan, place the pizzadilla in the pan, and then spray the top side, so that all of the ingredients won't fall out trying to juggle it.
- Cook until golden brown and cheese is melted in a pan over medium heat, flipping once.
- Cut into wedges. Use remaining sauce for dipping!

Tips:
- Choose a healthy tortilla: Opt for a whole-wheat or low-carb tortilla to make your pizzadilla healthier.
- Use lean protein: Grilled chicken, turkey, or lean beef are all great options for a protein-packed pizzadilla.
- Load up on veggies: Add your favorite vegetables to your pizzadilla, such as bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, and spinach.
- Go easy on the cheese: Cheese is high in calories and fat, so use it sparingly. A little bit of shredded mozzarella or Parmesan cheese will add flavor without overloading your pizzadilla with calories.
- Make your own sauce: To control the amount of sugar and sodium in your pizzadilla, make your own sauce using fresh tomatoes, garlic, and herbs.
- Bake or grill your pizzadilla: Baking or grilling your pizzadilla is a healthier option than frying it.
Conclusion:
Pizzadillas are a fun and easy way to enjoy a delicious and satisfying meal. By following these tips, you can make your pizzadilla healthier without sacrificing flavor. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, try making a pizzadilla. You won't be disappointed!
