Baked Quesadillas
Baking quesadillas in the oven is a great way to feed the whole family or a large crowd. It eliminates standing over the stovetop flipping each quesadilla one at a time.
Homemade Pico de Gallo
While the quesadillas are baking, combine the chopped tomato, diced onion, half of the cilantro, a squeeze of lime juice, and a little salt to make a delicious Pico de Gallo.
Taco Toppings
After slicing the quesadillas – we find using a pizza cutter is the easiest – serve with any taco toppings. Shredded lettuce, sliced avocado, limes, and Pico de Gallo are all great options! Looking to keep things even simpler? Serve with a side of premade salsa or sour cream.
