This giant quesadilla is filled with ooey-goey melted cheese, shredded chicken, roasted corn, green chiles and salsa. It will definitely be a show stopper when serving to a crowd or even just your family.
Everyone loves a quesadilla, but it’s hard to feed a crowd using the classic stovetop method. Using a sheet pan I fill large tortillas with all the good stuff and bake it and in just 25 minutes its ready to serve. I like to top mine with guacamole, sour cream and a squeeze of fresh lime juice. What will you put in your quesadilla?
