Tips for making these cheese quesadilla recipe
This is really one of the easiest lunch or dinner recipes you can make. But, here are a few simple tips to make sure your mac and cheese quesadillas come out perfectly. Are there special tortillas for making macaroni and cheese quesadillas?
I used 4 8-inch flour tortillas in this recipe. So, you can use either white or whole wheat 8 inch tortillas.

I wouldn't choose the larger size tortillas when making this. The smaller tortillas are easy to handle.
How do you keep quesadillas crispy?
One of my favorite things about this mac and cheese quesadilla recipe is how crispy and gooey it is after you cook it.

To make sure your quesadilla is crispy, simply lay one tortilla in the pan and add the toppings. Then, fold it in half.
You don't need to stack tortillas on top of each other. If you do this, it's possible that the top quesadilla won't be as crispy as the bottom.
If you want crispy mac and cheese quesadillas, do one at a time.
What can go inside a quesadilla?
You can put almost anything you want to inside a quesadilla. I've used jalapenos and bacon. But, you can add onions, peppers, mushrooms, diced chicken, cubes of ham, or steak.
It's all up to your family's taste preferences. Keep this mac and cheese quesadilla kid-friendly and try hot dogs with mac and cheese.
What's the easiest way to make bacon?
For easy baked bacon: simply lay slices of bacon on a foil-lined baking pan. Place the pan in the cold oven, turn the heat to 400°F and bake for 15 to 25 minutes.

The length of time will vary based on the thickness of your bacon (thick-cut takes longer) and the doneness you prefer (I like mine crispy).
Chop up the cooked bacon and refrigerate until ready to use in your mac and cheese quesadillas.
You can substitute bacon bits for chopped bacon when making this cheese quesadilla recipe.
Serving suggestions
If you're wondering what to serve with my mac and cheese quesadillas, why not try fresh pico de gallo, cilantro, sour cream, avocado slices or chunky guacamole.
Finally, the kids may enjoy dipping it in ketchup rather than pico de gallo.
How can I store leftovers?
We try to make only as many as we know we will use. These cheese quesadillas are delicious right out of the pan.

But, if you do have leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 5 days.
To reheat them, just warm them briefly on each side in a skillet. Add a bit of oil if you need to make them crispy again. Just warm them until the cheese starts to melt.
Enjoy!
With love from our simple kitchen to yours.
