How do you keep Sheet pan quesadillas crispy?

To start with, be sure the oven has been preheated. Using a sheet pan will also work to help crisp up the quesadilla. Using a good quality tortilla is the best idea. You also want to be sure that your ingredients are not too wet. This alone will soften the tortilla and prevent it from getting crispy.

There is no reason to grease the sheet pan when making a quesadilla. When the tortilla is crispy and golden it will release easily from the pan.

How to make Sheet Pan Quesadillas:

Step 1. Preheat the oven to 425° F / 220° C.

Step 2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and bell peppers.

Step 3. Cook until soft for about 5 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside in a small bowl.

Step 4. In the same skillet add ground beef and cook, breaking up meat until you get a brown color for about 5 minutes. Make sure to drain fat.

Step 5. Stir in paprika, chili powder, cumin, and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 6. Place 6 tortillas on a baking sheet, make sure to overlap the tortillas, and place another one to cover the baking sheet completely.

Step 7. Top with ground beef.

Step 8. Then add the pepper and onion mixture.

Step 9. Add shredded cheese and green onions on top.

Step 10. Fold the tortillas towards the center and place another tortilla in the center on top of all fillings.

Step 11. If the tortillas don’t stay in place, put a second baking sheet on top of it to help quesadilla hold its shape.

Step 12.  Bake until tortillas are beginning to turn crispy, about 25-35 minutes. If you added a second baking sheet, remove it after 10 minutes and continue baking.

Step 13. Slice the quesadillas into rectangles and serve warm with sour cream and pico de gallo on the top.
