  • Use a variety of fillings: Don't be afraid to experiment with different fillings for your quesadillas. Smoked turkey, cheese, and vegetables are all great options.
  • Don't overcrowd the quesadilla: When filling your quesadilla, don't overload it with too many ingredients. This will make it difficult to fold and cook evenly.
  • Cook the quesadilla over medium heat: Cook the quesadilla over medium heat so that the cheese has time to melt and the tortilla has time to crisp up.
  • Serve immediately: Quesadillas are best served immediately after they are cooked. This will ensure that the cheese is still melted and the tortilla is crispy.
