The quesadillas were a little too oily for my taste. I think I'll try using less oil next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the quesadillas turned out perfectly. They were crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside. Yum!

The quesadillas were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some diced jalapeƱos next time to give them a little kick.

These quesadillas were easy to make and turned out great! I used a pre-made salsa and guacamole to save time, and they were still delicious.
