with Bell Pepper & Marinara Sauce
- Wheat

[In your best Jerry Seinfeld voice]: “What’s the deal with the pizza-dilla? Is it pizza? Is it quesadilla? Make up your mind!” Well, Jerry, we’re here to tell you, these pizza-dillas are the best of both worlds: Quesadillas loaded with your favorite pizza toppings, like gooey mozzarella and Italian cheese, bell pepper, and Italian chicken sausage in a tangy marinara sauce. But what makes pizza-dilla better than pizza? The flour tortillas are quicker to cook than pizza dough, making this meal a one-pan weeknight wonder. That sounds like a pretty good i-dilla to us!

Cooking Steps
• Wash and dry produce. • Halve, core, and thinly slice bell pepper into strips. • Heat a large, dry, preferably nonstick, pan over high heat. Add bell pepper, a pinch of salt, and a small splash of water to hot pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until bell pepper is softened and water has absorbed, 2-3 minutes.
• Add a drizzle of oil and sausage* to pan with bell pepper. Cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until sausage is almost cooked through, 2-4 minutes. • Stir in marinara sauce. Cook, stirring occasionally, until sausage is coated and cooked through, 1-2 minutes more. • Turn off heat; transfer sausage mixture to a plate. Wash out pan.
• Place tortillas on a clean work surface. • Evenly sprinkle one half of each tortilla with mozzarella. Top with sausage mixture, then sprinkle with Italian cheese. • Fold tortillas in half to create quesadillas.
• Heat 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) in pan used for sausage over medium-high heat. Add quesadillas and cook until tortillas are golden brown and cheese melts, 2-3 minutes per side. (For 4, cook quesadillas in batches.) TIP: Lower heat if quesadillas begin to brown too quickly. • Transfer quesadillas to a cutting board; slice into thirds and divide between plates. Serve.

Reviews from our home cooks
These were SO good! We've had pizza dillas at a local, very popular quesadilla restaurant in town many times, and these from Hello Fresh were just as good. You could taste the fennel (I believe it was fennel) in the chicken sausage, which was super tasty. The bell peppers in the dillas were crunchy and buttery tasting. And the marinara sauce was incredibly delicious -- had the perfect balance of acidity, sweetness, and spice. YUM!
We loved these. The chicken sausage had great flavor. The crunchy, sweet bell peppers tasted amazing inside the dillas. And we really enjoyed the balanced flavor of the marina sauce that was neither too sweet nor too acidic
I'd like the One-Pan Chicken Sausage Pizza-Dillas to be available more often for delivery. They are great and easy to prepare!
I added half of an onion sliced to the peppers sautéing to give the pizza dillas a little more substance and flavor. Hubby enjoyed this dinner and pretty easy clean up too
Needs more marinara sauce for dipping because the pizzadilla is on the dry side. Chicken sausage was not very flavorful
I love all dillas, but this one had me worried, pizza? I should not have stressed it was amazing!
Surprisingly flavorful, the recipe only calls for salt/pepper and marinara sauce. I guess because sausage is seasoned so well it made for a delicious meal!
I loved these and so easy to prepare. We got two large Dillas a piece. Left 2nd one for lunch the next day.
These delicious and fast pizza-dillas were the perfect olive branch to my boyfriend, who loved them as well. Thanks, Hello Fresh.
I wasn't sure I would like this but it was really good! The sauce wasn't overwhelming, though the cheese was a bit much for me so I cut back on the 2nd serving. Really easy meal for leftovers. I added red pepper flakes to mine and loved the addition.
