Tips:

  • Use fresh tortillas. Fresh tortillas will yield the best results and will be less likely to tear when folded or grilled.
  • Warm the tortillas before filling them. This will make them more pliable and easier to fold.
  • Don't overload the quesadillas. If you overload them, they will be difficult to fold and will likely fall apart when grilled.
  • Use a variety of fillings. Enchilada quesadillas can be made with a variety of fillings, including chicken, beef, pork, beans, and vegetables.
  • Season the fillings well. Don't be afraid to add spices and herbs to your fillings to give them flavor.
  • Use a good quality cheese. The cheese is one of the most important ingredients in enchilada quesadillas, so be sure to use a good quality cheese that melts well.
  • Grill the quesadillas until they are golden brown and crispy. This will give them a delicious flavor and texture.
  • Serve the quesadillas with your favorite toppings. Common toppings include sour cream, salsa, guacamole, and pico de gallo.
