Notes
The amount of cheese and toppings in this recipe is for six really stuffed pizzadillas. You can reduce the cheese/toppings, or spread them over more tortillas, if you want less in each pizzadilla.
You can also sub monterrey jack or another melty cheese for the mozzarella, and enchilada sauce for the marinara sauce, to make it more Mexican. Any extra spices add a nice layer of flavor. Try adding garlic powder, onion powder, crushed red pepper, basil and/or oregano.
