More About This Recipe
- This creative recipe takes the original idea of quesadillas and seriously ups the game. Traditionally, quesadillas are filled with cheese and grilled or baked on a griddle—this dish is baked in the oven, made with flaky pie crust and filled with extra ingredients (in addition to pepper Jack cheese) like pork chorizo and a homemade bean chili mixture. The result? A flavorful spin on quesadillas that’s hearty enough to serve for dinner. Not quite ready to depart from traditional quesadillas? Save time and money by making this restaurant-worthy recipe at home. Bonus: It only takes 30 minutes!
