Sheet Pan Quesadillas

This particular sheet pan quesadillas are done with taco seasoning (Mexican) but the only limit on what you serve up is what you love! Try BBQ chicken, cheeseburger quesadillas, eggs and bacon, or skip the chicken and try steak or ground beef. 

• 4 large flour tortillas – my sheet pans are large (11 x 13) so I used the burrito size (10″) flour tortillas.
• 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
• 1 package taco seasoning
• 1/2 cup water
• 2 cups shredded cheese

Important Sheet Pan Quesadilla Tips

Typically I make our quesadillas in a cast iron pan or on a griddle but the downside is that you can only do 1 or 2 at a time. The positive (pro if you will) in making sheet pan quesadillas is that you can typically cook a whole dinners worth at once, so no need to let one get cold or be serving one person at a time.
