Tortilla Choice
Use high-quality flour tortillas for the best texture and flavor. Corn tortillas can also be used, but they may be more prone to tearing.
Cheese Blend
Experiment with different cheese blends to find your favorite flavor combination. Monterey Jack, Oaxaca, or pepper jack cheese can add interesting variations.
Salsa and Toppings
Serve with your favorite salsa, guacamole, sour cream, or pico de gallo for added flavor and texture.
Chicken Marinade
Marinating the chicken before grilling can enhance its flavor and tenderness. Try using a citrus-based marinade with spices like cumin, chili powder, and garlic.
Cooking Method
While grilling or using a skillet are common methods, you can also bake quesadillas in the oven for a more even cooking result.
