Notes
- Tortillas: store bought or homemade. If using raw store bought tortillas, they will need to be cooked first before continuing with the recipe.
- Cheese: Queso Quesadilla can be found with other Mexican cheeses in most markets. Can substitute with Monterey Jack.
- Storage: store leftovers in a sealed container in the refrigerator for 3-5 days.
- Make Ahead: Prep ahead of time by making your quesadillas and storing in the refrigerator. Reheat in a skillet over medium on the stovetop until cheese is melted and tortillas are crisp.
- Freezer: store cooked quesadillas in a large freezer bag, separated by sheets of parchment paper to help prevent them from sticking. Store for up to 2 months. Remove from the freezer and thaw in the refrigerator overnight.
- Reheating: reheat cold quesadillas by placing on a warm skillet and cooking until cheese is melted and the tortilla has crisped back up.
