Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
8 ounces sweet Italian sausage, casings removed
2 bell peppers (any color), sliced
1 small onion, sliced
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 1/3 cups marinara sauce
4 large flour tortillas (burrito-size)
1 8-ounce bag shredded mozzarella cheese (about 2 cups)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon and stirring occasionally, until browned and mostly cooked through, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the bell peppers, onion, garlic, oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes. Add 1/3 cup each marinara sauce and water and cook, stirring, until the vegetables are lightly coated and the skillet is mostly dry, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl and carefully wipe out the skillet.
  • Lay the tortillas on a work surface. Top one side of each tortilla with 1/4 cup mozzarella, 1/2 tablespoon Parmesan, one-quarter of the sausage-and-peppers mixture and another 1/4 cup mozzarella and 1/2 tablespoon Parmesan. Fold the tortillas over the filling and gently press.
  • Brush the tortillas with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Working in two batches, cook the quesadillas in the reserved skillet over medium heat until browned, about 2 minutes per side.
  • Warm the remaining 1 cup marinara sauce in a small saucepan or the microwave. Cut the quesadillas into wedges. Serve with the sauce for dipping.

I've made these quesadillas several times now and they are always a hit. My kids love them, and they're also a great way to use up leftover sausage and peppers.

These quesadillas were easy to make and turned out great. The only thing I would change is to use a little less cheese, as it was a bit too much for my taste.

I'm not usually a fan of quesadillas, but these were really good. The sausage and peppers were flavorful, and the cheese was nice and melted. I would definitely make these again.

I made these quesadillas for a party and they were a huge success! Everyone loved them. I especially liked the addition of the bell peppers, which gave them a nice crunch and sweetness.

These quesadillas were a hit with my family! The sausage and peppers were cooked to perfection, and the cheese was melted and gooey. The tortillas were crispy and held everything together perfectly. I will definitely be making these again.
