Description

Mini Cheese Quesadillas are crispy, cheesy, bite-sized snacks perfect for parties, lunches, or casual gatherings. Made with flour tortillas, melted cheddar and pepper jack cheese, green chilies, and a touch of butter and salt, these quesadillas are baked to golden perfection and can easily be reheated or frozen for later enjoyment.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 packages street taco-sized flour tortillas
  • 4 cups grated cheese (cheddar and Monterey pepper jack)
  • 2 cans (4 oz each) diced green chilies, drained
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 4 tablespoons melted butter
  • Coarse kosher salt, for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine grated cheese, diced green chilies, and onion. Mix well to distribute the ingredients evenly.
  3. Brush the baking sheet generously with melted butter and sprinkle it with coarse salt.
  4. Arrange 7–8 tortillas on the baking sheet. Place about one tablespoon of the cheese mixture on each tortilla and spread it evenly.
  5. Bake for 5 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the edges begin to crisp.
  6. Remove from the oven, fold each tortilla in half, and press gently to seal. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
  7. Cool slightly before serving or refrigerate for later use. To reheat, bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes until warm and crispy.
  8. Cut each quesadilla in half for serving, and enjoy warm.

Notes

  • Makes about 48 wedges when each tortilla is cut in half.
  • Use butter instead of oil for a richer, crispier texture.
  • Can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days or frozen for 2 months.
  • Reheat in the oven for best results — avoid microwaving to maintain crispiness.
  • Great for parties, game days, or as a kid-friendly snack.
