These quesadillas also reheat well, making them great leftovers.
Cooking Tips
Don’t overfill: Too much filling will spill out when flipping
Use a large pan: To cook both quesadillas at once if possible
Use pre-shredded cheese for speed: Or grate your own for creamier texture
Cook low and slow: Helps the cheese melt before the tortilla browns too fast
Use a press or plate to flatten: For even contact with the pan and crispiness
Let them rest before cutting: Cheese will firm up slightly for cleaner slices
These tricks will help you make perfect quesadillas every time.
