Tips:
- Choose the right cheese: Feta cheese is a classic choice, but you can also use other semi-soft cheeses like mozzarella, cheddar, or goat cheese.
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the quesadillas will taste. Look for ripe tomatoes, crisp lettuce, and flavorful herbs.
- Don't overcrowd the quesadillas: Too many fillings will make the quesadillas difficult to fold and cook evenly.
- Cook the quesadillas over medium heat: This will help to prevent the tortillas from burning and allow the cheese to melt evenly.
- Serve the quesadillas immediately: Quesadillas are best served hot and fresh. If you need to make them ahead of time, you can store them in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. To reheat, place the quesadillas in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes.
