Chef's Note
For extra flavor without adding complexity, you can warm your tortillas for 10 seconds in the microwave before assembling - this makes them more pliable and less likely to crack. If you're in a hurry, you can cook the quesadilla at slightly higher heat, just watch carefully to prevent burning.
