Comments
I’ve always had the problem, when making quesadillas, that the quesadilla gets browned and crispy before the cheese gets melty. I’ve solved this problem by nuking the quesadilla for a minute before finishing in the skillet. This yields deliciously melty quesadillas every time. My nephew calls these Dillas and they’re always a great, quick meal.
While I have these filled with chicken, bacon, ranch, bbq, and onions, you can easily fill them with flavors you’d like.
