A chicken quesadilla is the baseline. The thing everyone can eat, nobody complains about, and that goes from pan to plate in twenty minutes without requiring anything from you except showing up with a rotisserie chicken and some Monterey Jack. It’s the anchor recipe of this entire category — the one that should have been…
Spinach and artichoke quesadillas are the answer to the question you’ve probably had at some point while eating spinach artichoke dip: why isn’t this a full meal? It should be. The combination of cream cheese, mozzarella, parmesan, artichoke hearts, and spinach is already rich enough, flavorful enough, and satisfying enough to be dinner — it…
A Korean BBQ quesadilla is the kind of recipe that sounds like a food truck experiment and turns out to be one of the better things to come out of your kitchen this year. Thinly sliced beef marinated in Korean BBQ sauce, seared at high heat until the edges caramelize and char, folded into a…
A smash burger quesadilla is exactly what it sounds like and better than you’re imagining. Raw ground beef pressed directly onto a flour tortilla, cooked beef-side down in a hot pan until the meat is charred and the tortilla is crisping, folded over melted American cheese, then finished with special sauce, shredded lettuce, diced onion,…
The bacon, egg, and cheese quesadilla is what happens when someone takes the best part of a breakfast sandwich — the ratio of egg to cheese to salty, fatty meat — and puts it inside a buttered, crispy tortilla instead of a soft bun that gets soggy by the time you finish eating it. It’s…
Ground beef quesadillas are one of those things you grew up eating — either at Taco Bell or at someone’s kitchen counter at 9pm — and somehow never thought to make at home. Which is a shame, because the homemade version takes 25 minutes, costs a fraction of what you’d spend going out, and produces…
A Philly cheesesteak quesadilla is not a particularly subtle idea, but it is a genuinely good one. You take the two things that make a cheesesteak worth eating — the thinly shaved beef and the obscene amount of melted cheese — and put them in a format that’s faster to make, easier to eat, and…
Buffalo chicken quesadillas are a category that almost everyone makes with just buffalo sauce and shredded cheese in a tortilla. That version is fine. This version has cream cheese in the filling, and the difference is significant enough that it deserves its own recipe. The cream cheese does three things. It tempers the heat from…
A steak and caramelized onion quesadilla recipe with caramelized onions sounds like it should be a twenty-minute weeknight dinner. Most of it is. The steak takes ten minutes. Building and toasting the quesadillas takes ten minutes. The caramelized onions take twenty-five minutes, and that number is not negotiable, and understanding why changes how you cook…
