Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 6 Flour Tortillas (soft and pliable)
  • 2 cups Shredded Cheese Blend (cheddar and Monterey Jack)
  • 1 cup Cooked Chicken or Beans (optional)
  • 1/2 cup Diced Bell Peppers
  • 1/4 cup Chopped Onions
  • 1 tsp Cumin
  • 1 tsp Paprika
  • 1/2 tsp Chili Powder
  • Olive Oil or Cooking Spray (for greasing the sheet pan)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) to get it hot and ready, ensuring the tortillas crisp up perfectly without drying out the fillings.
  2. Prepare the Filling: Combine shredded cheese, diced bell peppers, cooked chicken or beans, chopped onions, and spices (cumin, paprika, chili powder) in a bowl to evenly distribute flavors before assembly.
  3. Assemble the Quesadillas on the Sheet Pan: Lightly oil the baking sheet or spray it with cooking spray. Place half of the tortillas flat on the pan, then evenly spread the filling mixture over each tortilla. Top each with a remaining tortilla to form a sandwich.
  4. Bake Until Golden and Crispy: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and bake for 8 to 12 minutes. About halfway through, carefully flip each quesadilla using a thin spatula to ensure even browning on both sides.
  5. Slice and Serve Warm: Once the quesadillas are beautifully golden and the cheese bubbly, remove from oven. Let them cool for a minute, then slice into wedges and serve warm with your favorite garnishes and side dishes.

Notes

  • Use shredded cheese rather than blocks for best melting and texture.
  • Do not overfill quesadillas; moderate fillings help them hold together and crisp properly.
  • Flip quesadillas carefully with a thin spatula to avoid tearing the tortillas.
  • Adjust the spice levels and peppers to suit your family’s taste preferences.
  • Check your oven a few minutes before the recommended baking time as ovens vary.
