Notes
Feel free to experiment with different meat and cheese combinations.
This recipe makes a very hearty quesadilla with lots of meat filling. For a more cheese centric filling, you can cut the meat in half.
A pizza cutter is the easiest way to cut the quesadilla.
Serve with your favorite toppings like sour cream, jalapenos, lettuce, guacamole, pico de galo, or fresh cilantro.
