Frequently asked questions

Can I use whole wheat tortillas instead of flour tortillas?
Yes, whole wheat tortillas would work perfectly and add a nutty flavor to the quesadilla.

How do I know when the quesadilla is done cooking?
Look for a golden brown color on both sides and a warm filling. The quesadilla should feel slightly crispy to the touch.

Can I prepare these ahead of time?
While it’s best to enjoy them fresh, you can prepare the quesadilla filling ahead and assemble them quickly in the morning. Just cook them in the skillet when you’re ready to eat!
