Instructions

Spread each tortilla generously with sauce, then sprinkle each with ¼ cup of the cheese.
Arrange about ½ cup of the steamed or sautéed vegetables on one half of the tortilla, then fold the other half over.
Cook over medium heat on a dry skillet or griddle on both sides until golden and crisp. If your skillet or griddle is large enough, you can cook two at a time; otherwise just do one at a time. Either way, keep cooked pizzadilla warm while making the rest.
Once they’re all done, serve at once. Leave them whole, as shown in the photo below, or cut in half as shown in the first photo. If not overly stuffed, you can picking these up and eat out of hand with plenty of napkins, or with knife and fork.
