Preparation
Chef’s notes
The best cheese for quesadillas is any cheese that melts well. Oaxaca cheese, Chihuahua cheese, cheddar, Monterey Jack, and mozzarella cheese are all great options. Avoid pre-shredded cheese for quesadillas. Freshly grated cheese will melt better and create a gooier filling!
Use pepper jack cheese instead of Monterey Jack for a spicy option.
