Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line your sheet pan with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Lay two tortillas flat on the sheet pan, slightly overlapping in the center. This will form the base of your quesadilla.
Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese evenly over the tortillas. Add your choice of fillings (chicken, veggies, beans, etc.) and season with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Top with the remaining cheese.
Place the remaining two tortillas on top of the fillings, pressing down gently to seal. Brush the tops with olive oil or spray with cooking spray for a crispy finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes. Use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to slice into squares or triangles. Serve warm with your favorite toppings like salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.
