Notes
Storage: Once cooled, store any leftover quesadillas in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 2 months.
Reheating: To reheat, place quesadillas in a skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes on each side until warm and crispy. Alternatively, use an oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes, or until heated through.
Serving: Serve the grilled Mediterranean veggie quesadillas hot, sliced into wedges, with a side of tzatziki or salsa for dipping. Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or basil for an extra touch.
Chef’s Tip: For added flavor and texture, consider mixing in other ingredients like olives or sun-dried tomatoes. Additionally, using a cast iron skillet can help achieve that perfect crispy quesadilla crust.
