There are so many ways to make an easy cheese quesadilla. In fact, it can be as simple as creating shapes or changing your favorite foods into quesadillas such as a pizza quesadilla.
Quesadilla Ingredients
One of the best things about a quesadilla is that it takes very few ingredients to make them.
Cheese for the Quesadilla
There are several types of cheese that can be used. These include:
- Freshly Grated Cheese
- Cheddar Cheese
- Monterey Jack Cheese
- or your favorite shredded cheese
Choose Your Tortilla
In addition, the type of tortilla is essential for making a delicious quesadilla. Typically, people usually choose from two kinds of tortillas in general, corn tortillas or flour tortillas.
Not to mention, there are several subgroups of tortillas including but not limited to high fiber, low carbohydrate, whole wheat, gluten free, and also flavored tortillas.
Go ahead and pick your favorite to get started. Consequently, if you plan to cut shapes into the tortilla, using a flour based type may be the easier option for cutting purposes.
Other Quesadilla Ingredients
Think about additional ingredients that you or your family may like on the quesadilla. Using quesadillas with cheese as the base for the meal, what else would you like to add? For example, you might like some added vegetables or proteins on your quesadilla. Similarly, some fun ideas may include a pizza quesadilla, taco quesadilla, or a breakfast quesadilla.

Fun Shapes with Cookie Cutters
