Notes
- You need to use a very hot skillet to get that perfect golden-brown, crispy exterior on your quesadillas.
- Don't overstuff your quesadillas. Aim for a generous sprinkle of cheese and a few tablespoons of the buffalo turkey mixture.
- Feel free to try different types of cheese. Pepper jack, Colby jack, or a Mexican blend would all be delicious in this recipe.
- When it comes time to slice your quesadillas into wedges, a pizza cutter lets you make quick, clean slices without tearing or crushing the crispy tortillas.
