The cheese quesadilla has been a staple in my kitchen for years. I’ve found that my favorite grocery store tortillas are a 50/50 flour and corn mix. That using grated cheese off a block works best. And that thinly slicing and tossing in random veggies from the fridge helps me keep food waste down to a minimum.
Short on time? Need a meal that’s customizable? Feed a crowd? Economical too? The answer has always been… a cheese quesadilla!

A Susanna Staple
My motto in life has ALWAYS been… put it in or on a tortilla and call it a day. There’s never not a pack or three hanging in the freezer just waiting to be stuffed with random leftovers. They make the easiest meals. From breakfast tacos, to spicy mushroom fajitas, to tortilla chips, to this cheese crusted cheese quesadilla.
My absolute favorite grocery store tortillas currently come from Whole Foods. They’re a 50/50 four and corn blend that’s out of this world delicious. Soft and tender with the right amount of nutty chew. They crisp to perfection, aren’t too small or too big. Which means two of these tortillas, wether tacos or cheese quesadillas, is a serving for me. You might be just fine with one or opt for 3. Let them speak to you and they’ll show you the way. And part of that way is going to be walking you straight to this margarita recipe that happens to pair oh so well.

Cheese crusts don’t just work well for quesadillas. Your grilled cheese sandwich is also about to never be the same. Are you a fan of crispy crunchy cheese? Does this sound like something you’d make?
