Instructions
Start by warming your mac and cheese filling so it's easy to spread. If you’re using bacon, make sure it’s crispy and finely chopped.
Have your tortillas ready, and lightly oil or butter both sides to encourage browning.
Spoon a nice layer of filling onto one tortilla, top with a little shredded cheese, and cover with a second tortilla to create a sandwich.
Heat a wide skillet over medium heat and add a thin layer of oil or butter.
Place your prepared quesadilla in the pan and cook until the bottom tortilla is golden and crispy, about 2–3 minutes.
Carefully flip it and cook the other side until it's just as crispy and the cheese inside is gooey.
Letting the quesadilla rest for a minute after cooking helps the cheese set a little, making it easier to slice.
Notes
Tip: To maximize crispiness, use a well-seasoned skillet and don’t overstuff the filling.
