These quesadillas were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I'll try baking them next time.

I'm a vegetarian so I used black beans instead of beef. The quesadillas were still very flavorful and satisfying.

I followed the recipe exactly and my quesadillas turned out soggy. I think I might have added too much oil to the pan.

These quesadillas were a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra spices to the filling and they were much better.

I'm not a big fan of beef, but I really enjoyed these quesadillas. The potato and cheese filling was delicious and the tortillas were perfectly browned.
