Pro Tips for Perfect Quesadillas
Use quality tortillas – soft and flexible flour or whole wheat tortillas work best.
Don’t overload – roughly 2 Tbsp sauce and ¼ cup cheese prevent sogginess.
Crisp the pepperoni – adds texture and deepens flavor.
Add butter or oil – optional, but boosts crispiness.
Toast both sides equally – ensure cheese melts before tortilla burns.
Let them rest – cool briefly for cleaner slicing.
Try air-fryer cooking – 375°F for 6–8 minutes for a crispy alternative.
