Chef's Tips

For extra flavor, add diced onions or jalapenos to the chili while heating.

You can also use pre-shredded cheese to save time.

To keep the quesadillas warm while you make the rest, preheat your oven to 200°F and place the cooked quesadillas on a baking sheet in the oven.

If you don't have a skillet, you can bake the quesadillas in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tortillas are lightly browned.
