I'm gonna use this tutorial to make the first quesadillas in my entire 52 years of living. I've been cooking about 40 years. Very rarely make Mexican (or southwestern) food. But tonight, I am. Yippee!

I know that you showed the "traditional" way of making quesadillas, and that is how I made them up until the last time, about 2 weeks ago. This last time I tried baking instead of frying and was surprised how good they came out. I lined a baking sheet with foil and sprayed it with some cooking spray. I placed each open tortilla on the baking sheet, filled it with the fillings (in my case I just made cream cheese and shredded cheddar), folded them, then baked the whole sheet pan (3 quesadillas) at about 400°F (204°C) for 10 minutes. The cheese came out much more consistently melted and the outsides were crispy, almost like the fried ones.

We love quesadillas, so I needed this video. Thank you! Fascinating to know that you used to work at Moe's. It's one of my favorite chain restaurants.

Cooking it on the skillet.
That's perfect..

I ❤ making Quesadilla's using honey ham & shredded Mexican blend cheese and i use Zaxby's zax sauce for my dipping or ranch sauce..It's very yummy!
Sometimes, I'll make a few of them using chicken and mixed shredded cheeses, and I dip it in mild salsa! I always add cheese to the whole Quesadilla... I like to toast up both sides b4 adding the cheese and any other meats! Who doesn't love Quesadilla's! The possibilities are endless!! If you can make homemade tortillas from scratch 😋 they will be even better!

[BarefootFarm]

Been making these the right way since back in the day! 😆

[christiallen]

Never tried putting butter on the tortilla. Will try that next time!!

[glozhappiest]
