  • If you don't have a quesadilla maker, you can cook the quesadillas in a large skillet over medium heat. Just be sure to flip them halfway through cooking so they cook evenly.
  • For a more flavorful quesadilla, use a variety of cheeses. Cheddar, mozzarella, and pepper jack cheese are all good choices.
  • Add your favorite toppings to the quesadillas. Some popular choices include salsa, guacamole, sour cream, and black beans.
  • Quesadillas can be served immediately or stored in the refrigerator for later. To reheat, simply microwave them on high for 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until warmed through.
