Another great aspect of this recipe of Quesadillas on a Sheet Pan is that you can cut them to the size you want. This is perfect for those that will not eat much and those that will want to try to eat it all.
What toppings should I use?
There are so many possibilities, they cannot all be listed. What you normally choose for a quesadilla topping should be included for this one. You can use Pico de Gallo, Sour Cream, Guacamole, Cheese Sauce, Olives, Salsa plus so many more.
Can I use Chicken?
You could use Chicken, turkey, ground beef, sausage or even Tofu if you prefer. Also a quesadilla does not have to have meat! You can use refried beans, vegetables or have a plain cheese quesadilla.
How many tortillas do I need?
This will depend on the size of sheet pan that you are using. On a small sheet pan, 7 to 8 quesadillas would be common. On a large sheet pan you will probably need 10 to 12 tortillas.
How do I store the quesadilla?
If you are lucky to have any left after dinner, smile! Wrap the quesadilla in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. You could also place it in an airtight container. The quesadilla will last for 2 to 3 days in the refrigerator. If you were to freeze the quesadilla, it would be able to remain in the freezer for up to 2 months.
How do I reheat the Quesadilla?
You can place the Quesadilla on a sheet pan and warm it up in the oven. You could also use a Toaster Oven.
