Notes
I used vegetable oil in this recipe but any oil with a high smoke point will work great. Avocado oil, coconut oil or canola oil would work great in this recipe.
You can easily use your favorite type of cheeses in this quesadilla recipe. Use your favorite.
These are best served fresh but you can refrigerate the leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
