Frequently Asked Questions About Quesadilla

How many quesadillas per person?

Cut into wedges, plan for 2-3 wedges per person as an appetizer. As a main dish, plan for 1 whole quesadilla (4 wedges) per person.

How do I keep quesadillas warm for a party?

Keep in a 200°F oven on a wire rack (not stacked). Stacking makes them soggy. Serve within 30 minutes of cooking for best results.

Can I make quesadillas ahead?

You can prep fillings ahead, but cook quesadillas fresh. For large parties, cook in batches on sheet pans in the oven (400°F, 5-7 minutes per side) rather than on the stovetop.
