Notes
- Add some avocado: If you want to reduce the amount of cheese, you can add some mashed avocado to the quesadilla. It's still creamy and delicious! Don't omit the cheese completely; it helps hold the quesadilla together.
- Use different cheese: While cheddar is one of the cheeses in Taco Bell's original recipe, a traditional Mexican cheese like queso Oaxaca or Chihuahua cheese would be a great alternative. You can also use a mix of different cheeses for more flavor.
- Try a different meat: If you're not a fan of steak, you can use grilled chicken, turkey, or ground beef.
- Make it dairy-free: Use vegan cheese, cooking spray, and coconut milk yogurt (to replace the sour cream) to make this recipe dairy-free. Choose a vegan cheese that melts well, as some brands don't melt as easily.
