Tips:

  • For the perfect quesadilla, use freshly grated cheese. Pre-shredded cheese contains cellulose, a filler that can make the cheese tough and rubbery.
  • Use a large skillet or griddle to cook the quesadillas. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from sticking.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet. Cook the quesadillas in batches if necessary.
  • Cook the quesadillas over medium heat. This will help them cook through without burning the tortillas.
  • Flip the quesadillas frequently to ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Serve the quesadillas immediately with your favorite toppings, such as salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.

Chile cheese and bacon quesadillas are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or meal. They're perfect for parties, potlucks, or a quick weeknight dinner.
