Notes
Make ahead and freeze. Assemble as directed and microwave. Allow to cool, place them on a cookie sheet, and flash-freeze. Once firm transfer to freezer ziploc and freeze for up to 2 months.
To heat, place frozen quesadilla in the microwave for 30-60 seconds. Transfer to a nonstick pan and finish cooking over medium heat until cheese is melted and the tortilla is crispy.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave or skillet.
