Notes

Feel free to mix and match your favorite cheeses and add-ins to customize your quesadilla. The cooking method can vary—you can also bake or air fry for different textures. For leftovers, reheat in the air fryer or skillet to maintain crispiness. Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor and texture, and enjoy personalizing with your favorite toppings like hot sauce or guacamole!
