It’s necessary to use a variety of cheeses for maximum flavor. Cheese is already good, so what’s better? MORE CHEESE. You can’t have too much of a good thing (i.e. cheese).

#SpoonTip: Mexican blend cheeses work best.

2. Meats & Veggies

The world is diverse, so your quesadilla needs to be too. Adding a variety of meats and veggies takes your entree to a whole new level.

#SpoonTip: Microwave the ingredients for 30 seconds prior to cooking. This ensures perfect quesadilla temperature throughout.

3. Butter = Crispy

To cook a golden crispy quesadilla, use 1/2 tsp of butter or oil in your skillet as you cook the quesadilla.

4. Use One Tortilla

Fold one tortilla in half instead of using two. This will make the flipping process much easier for your quesadilla.
