Notes
If you have leftovers, store the quesadillas in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet or microwave before serving. Don’t overload the tortillas with beef and cheese, or they might be hard to flip. Customize with different seasonings or add-ins like jalapeños or mushrooms.
