What You’ll Need to Make Mini Quesadillas

4 small flour tortillas (or corn, if preferred)
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)
1/2 cup cooked chicken or beans (optional)
1/4 cup bell pepper, finely chopped (optional)
1 tablespoon olive oil (for brushing)
Salsa, sour cream, or guacamole for dipping (optional)

How to Make Mini Quesadillas

Prepare the fillings: If you’re adding extras like chicken, beans, or veggies, chop them into small pieces. This helps the mini quesadillas cook evenly.
Assemble the quesadillas: Lay a tortilla flat, sprinkle a little cheese in the center, and add any extra fillings on top. Top with another tortilla to form a little sandwich.
Cook the quesadillas: Heat a pan over medium heat and brush it lightly with olive oil. Place the assembled quesadilla in the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden and crispy. You can press them down gently with a spatula to help them crisp up.
Cut and serve: Remove the quesadilla from the pan, cut it into quarters, and serve with your favorite dip—salsa, sour cream, or guacamole. Enjoy!
