Notes
Quesadilla toppings. These quesadillas are loaded with rich, creamy ingredients like cheese and avocado. That means that they taste even better dipped in an acidic sauce sauce like a tomato-based salsa or vinegar-based hot sauce. Folding brittle tortillas. Are your tortillas breaking when you fold them in half? Try heating your stack of tortillas in the microwave for 15 - 20 seconds alongside a damp paper towel before you assemble your quesadillas. Tortillas that are warm and well hydrated tend to fold better.
