Ingredients

• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 8 oz. sweet Italian sausage, casings removed
• 2 bell peppers (any color), sliced
• 1 small onion, sliced
• 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• Kosher salt and black pepper
• 1 1/3 cups marinara sauce
• 4 large flour tortillas
• 8 oz. shredded mozzarella
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan

Directions

1. Heat 1 tbsp 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.

2. Add the bell peppers, onion, garlic, oregano, 1/2 tsp salt and black pepper to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the veggies are tender, about 15 minutes. Add 1/2 cup each marinara sauce and water and cook, stirring, until the veggies are lightly coated and the skillet is mostly dry, 3-5 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl and carefully wipe out the skillet.

3. Lay the tortillas on a work surface. Top one side of each tortilla with 1/4 cup mozzarella, 1/2 tbsp Parmesan, one-quarter of the sausage-and-peppers mixture and another 1/4 cup mozzarella and 1/2 tbsp Parmesan. Fold the tortillas over the filling and gently press.

4. Brush the tortillas with the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil. Working in 2 batches, cook the quesadillas in the reserved skillet over medium heat until browned, about 2 minutes per side.

5. Warm the remaining 1 cup marinara in a small saucepan or the microwave. Cut the quesadillas into wedges. Serve with the sauce for dipping.
