Sheet Pan Quesadillas
Sheet Pan Quesadillas are a family-friendly recipe that takes the classic quesadilla and transforms it into a baked, crowd-pleasing dish. With gooey cheese, flavourful fillings, and a crispy tortilla crust, this recipe is perfect for parties, busy weeknights, or game-day gatherings.
Ingredients
- 6–8 large flour tortillas
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 1 cup black beans, drained
- 1 cup shredded cheddar or Mexican cheese blend
- ½ cup bell peppers, diced
- ½ cup onions, diced
- ½ cup salsa
- 2 tbsp olive oil or melted butter
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Grease a large sheet pan and line with tortillas, overlapping so they cover the bottom and hang over the edges.
- Spread a filling mixture of cooked chicken, beans, veggies, salsa, and cheese evenly on top.
- Fold overhanging tortillas back toward the centre to enclose filling. Top with another tortilla layer.
- Brush with oil or melted butter for a golden finish.
- Bake for 18–20 minutes until crispy and golden brown.
- Let cool slightly, cut into squares, and serve with sour cream, guacamole, or salsa.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken for a quick option.
- Swap fillings with ground beef, steak, or roasted veggies.
- Don’t overload the filling; it helps quesadillas bake evenly.
- Serve with fresh toppings like jalapeños, cilantro, or lime wedges.
