Notes
Pro Tips: Warm your tortillas slightly before assembling to prevent cracking. Cook in batches and keep finished quesadillas warm in a 200°F oven. For a large crowd, you can bake them all at once at 425°F for 10-12 minutes. For another incredible party appetizer that's always a hit, try our easy Crack Chicken Pinwheels.
