Helpful Tips
- Avoid using pre-shredded bagged cheese, as the added coating can prevent it from melting smoothly.
- Leave about 1/4″ to 1/2″ of space between the cheese and the edge of the tortilla, as the cheese will naturally spread while melting.
- To achieve an extra crispy crust, melt 1/2 tablespoon of butter on the griddle before adding a stuffed tortilla. Repeat this step for each batch.
- Use a pizza cutter to cut the quesadilla into wedges.
Blackstone Quesadilla
Ingredients
Quesadillas:
- 4 flour tortilla, soft taco size
- 2-3 cups shredded cheese (*Note 1)
- 2 tbsp butter (optional for extra crispy crust)
Optional Toppings:
- Guacamole, sour cream, salsa
Instructions
Quesadilla:
- Pre-heat a griddle over medium heat.
- Place the tortillas on a cutting board. Add 1/2-3/4 cup of cheese to one half of the tortilla, keeping the cheese 1/4" from the edge. Fold the tortilla in half so the round edges line up.
- OPTIONAL: For a crispy crust, place 1/2 tbsp of butter to the griddle per quesadilla. Let it melt before continuing to the next step.
- Transfer the quesadillas to the griddle. If using butter, cook for 2-3 minutes per side. If you're not using butter, cook for 3-4 minutes per side until the cheese is melted throughout. Remove from the heat and let sit for 2-3 minutes.
- Slice the quesadillas in half and top with your favorite toppings.
