Say no to soggy, flimsy quesadillas!

This means that no matter how desperate my husband and I get, we can always eat a quesadilla.

And gladly, because we never get tired of it.

Acrispy, melty quesadillais always a win!

After making countless over many years, Ive learned a few things.

It gives the tortilla a chance to better crisp up, withstanding any soggy fillings you might add.

It makes the quesadilla easier to eat and easier to dunk in salsa, sour cream, andguacamole.

This trick also adds extra flavor, coaxing toasty deliciousness out of the tortillas.

No matter what kind of tortillas you use, toast both sides for a better experience.

Second, grease the tortillas.

I like to brush them lightly with oil using a silicone brushyou dont need a lot of oil.

Remove from the pan and add another tortilla, repeating the process.

This will likely take under a minute each.

If youre making multiple quesadillas, I recommend going ahead and toasting one side of every tortilla now.

Finally, make your quesadilla.

If the quesadilla is cooking too quickly to melt the cheese, turn down the heat.

Enjoy your perfect quesadilla with your choice of dips!
