Chef's Note
For extra flavor without adding complexity, you can lightly toast the tortillas in a dry pan for 30 seconds on each side before assembling the quesadilla. This creates a more sturdy base and enhances the flavor. If you're in a hurry, you can microwave the assembled quesadilla for 30 seconds before pan-frying to ensure the cheese melts completely.
