Keeping up with the dinner demand can be a lot, especially when you are in the kitchen cooking up meal number three! Quesadillas are an easy way to serve a quick, effortless meal or snack for your hungry roommates! This blog post includes some of our favorite ways to serve them, plus our favorite fillings!   

If you haven’t done it in a while, quesadillas are super easy to make! You’ll need butter, tortillas, cheese, and fillings. Using a skillet or pancake griddle on medium heat, place a buttered tortilla buttered side down. You can prepare it in two ways, depending on how much food you need. 

First, use one tortilla, fill half with cheese and toppings, then fold it in half. The second way is to use two whole tortillas. Place the first tortilla in the skillet and cover it entirely with cheese and toppings. After it is covered, place a second tortilla on top of it, buttered side up.   

Letting the tortilla become golden brown before flipping is important, but it is even more important that the cheese is melted. If it is not melted, the cheese and toppings will all fall out when you attempt to flip the quesadilla. If your skillet's heat is too high, the tortilla will burn before the cheese melts.   

Okay- now that you know how to make a quesadilla, let’s talk about what to put in it!   

We will have two categories- fillings and toppings. You put fillings inside the quesadilla, and toppings are for serving on top of them!
