Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 8 large soft flour tortillas
  • 1 lb meat ground beef, shredded pork or chicken!
  • 1 cup salsa
  • 2 cups Colby jack shredded cheese
  • 1 cup guacamole optional
  • 1 cup refried beans optional
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
  • 1/2 cup of black beans
  • 1/2 cup corn
  • Create your favorite toppings too!

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350. Place 6 of the flour tortillas around the edges of the lightly sprayed sheet pan. Make sure the tortillas overlap and are hanging halfway over the edge of the pan, leaving a gap in the center. Then, place 1 tortilla over the bottom center gap of the sheet pan. See example picture below.
  2. This where it gets fun and creative! Add your favorite toppings! I spread on the guacamole or sour cream, retried beans, 1 cup cheese, the meat, taco seasoning, salsa, 1 cup cheese.
  3. Place a tortilla in the middle and start to carefully fold the tortillas towards the middle of the pan.
  4. When all sides are folded, place the 2nd sheet pan on top of the folded tortillas. Bake for 20 minutes.

Notes

Storage: 
Leftover quesadillas mean you've got a few more meals at the ready! Store them in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-5 days. Reheat in the oven at 375° until hot and crispy.
You can also freeze leftovers. Store them in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before serving, then reheat in the oven as instructed above.
These quesadillas are a great make-ahead meal. Here are our best tips:
  • Prep Filling In Advance: Mix together ahead of time and store separately, then assemble when you're ready.
  • Assemble Just Before Baking: Wait to assemble until you're ready to bake and serve. This way the quesadillas stay crispy and won't get soggy.
  • Great Party Prep Food: These quesadillas are ideal for entertaining. Prep ingredients in advance, make filling ahead of time, and serve a crowd with just one pan of food.
