Expert Tips

  • Tip 1
    Tip: Flavoured tortillas can also be used in this recipe.
  • Tip 2
    Success Hint: These quesadillas can also be cooked on the stove. Heat 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Assemble one quesadilla in the skillet. Cook 2 to 3 minutes on each side until tortillas are golden brown. Repeat to make second quesadilla. To keep quesadillas warm, place them on an ungreased cookie sheet in a 250 degree oven until ready to serve.
