Tips:

  • For a crispier quesadilla, use a griddle or skillet over medium-high heat.
  • If you don't have a griddle or skillet, you can also cook quesadillas in a nonstick pan over medium heat.
  • To prevent the cheese from sticking to the pan, use a nonstick cooking spray or lightly grease the pan with butter or oil.
  • For a more flavorful quesadilla, use a variety of cheeses, such as cheddar, Monterey Jack, and mozzarella.
  • Be careful not to overstuff the quesadilla, or it will be difficult to fold and cook evenly.
  • Serve quesadillas with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and Pico de Gallo.
