Question 1

What is the best quesadilla melting cheese?

Accepted Answer

Shredded Mexican blend cheese is best for quesadillas – it’s usually a blend of Monterey jack, cheddar, asadero, and queso quesadilla cheeses.

Question 2

Should I butter my quesadilla?

Accepted Answer

No, you don’t need to butter a quesadilla. If you cook it on a well-seasoned cast iron griddle, you’ll get a beautiful crisp on the outside of the tortillas. Even if you use a nonstick pan, you don’t need to add any extra grease. Flour tortillas typically have vegetable shortening or oil in them already.

Question 3

Is it better to put a quesadilla in the oven or pan?

Accepted Answer

Quesadillas cook better in a pan on the stove compared to baking in the oven. They’ll crisp up more quickly and you can keep a closer eye on them to ensure the tortillas don’t burn.

Question 4

Do you cook quesadillas on high or low heat?

Accepted Answer

Cook a quesadilla on low heat to allow enough time for the cheese to melt before the tortilla crisps. If you cook it at too high of a heat, you run the risk of the tortilla burning before your cheese is gooey.
