Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven & Prep Ingredients

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the bell pepper and onion into thin strips.
If using protein, ensure it is pre-cooked and seasoned.

Step 2: Assemble the Quesadillas

Place a large sheet pan on a flat surface.
Lay 3 tortillas across the sheet pan, slightly overlapping so they hang over the edges.
Sprinkle a layer of cheese, protein, bell peppers, and onions evenly across the tortillas.
Add taco seasoning for extra flavor.
Place 3 more tortillas on top, covering the filling, and fold the overhanging tortillas over to seal.

Step 3: Bake Until Crispy

Brush the top of the tortillas with melted butter.
Place another sheet pan on top (to press them down) and bake for 10-12 minutes.
Remove the top pan and bake 2-3 more minutes for extra crispiness.

Step 4: Slice & Serve

Let the quesadillas cool for a few minutes, then slice into squares.
Serve with sour cream, salsa, or guacamole.

Notes

For extra crispiness: Broil for the last 1-2 minutes.
Don’t overfill: Too much filling can make them harder to crisp up.
Dairy-Free Option: Use a plant-based cheese alternative.
Make it spicier: Add diced jalapeños or hot sauce.
