To begin, spread a tablespoon of the pizza sauce across half of a flour tortilla. Over the sauce, scatter around 25 grams of the shredded cheese, following up with some slices of the red onion, mushrooms, and green pepper, and a few olives. Once the toppings are arranged, sprinkle another layer of cheese and dried basil before folding the bare half of the tortilla over to form a half-moon shape, pressing gently.
Place your assembled pizzadilla into a heated skillet over a medium heat, allowing it to crisp up and turn a golden brown on the bottom. This should take around 2-3 minutes. Then, with care, flip the pizzadilla to let the other side cook for another 2-3 minutes until it's just as brown and crispy. Repeat this process with your remaining tortillas and ingredients. Once all your pizzadillas are cooked and crispy, cut each into two or three equal pieces. Enjoy!

Notes
Keep an eye on your pizzadilla as it cooks. The time it takes to brown and crisp up can vary based on your stove and the type of skillet you're using.
To ensure the pizzadilla cooks evenly and the cheese melts properly, consider pressing it down with a spatula as it cooks.
When adding your toppings, try to distribute them evenly over the cheese. This helps every bite to have a good balance of flavors.
Feel free to switch out the cheese based on preference. You can try a different type of cheese like Monterey Jack, cheddar, or even a vegan cheese for those avoiding dairy.
The vegetable toppings can be varied as per your liking or availability. You can use bell peppers of different colors, zucchini, spinach, tomatoes, or even artichoke hearts.
Leftover pizzadillas can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to eat, you can reheat them in a toaster oven or in a skillet over low heat to restore the crispness.
