Easy Sheet Pan Quesadillas are baked instead of pan-fried, making them a simple and mess-free way to serve crispy, cheesy quesadillas to a crowd. Filled with your favorite protein, veggies, and plenty of cheese, they’re perfect for weeknight dinners or parties.

Ingredients

  • 8 large flour tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or Mexican blend)
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, ground beef, or black beans
  • 1 cup diced bell peppers
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or melted butter (for brushing)
  • Sour cream, salsa, or guacamole (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook your protein (if not already cooked) with taco seasoning, diced onions, and bell peppers until warmed through and tender. Set aside.
  3. Lightly grease a large sheet pan. Lay 6 tortillas overlapping around the edges so that half of each tortilla hangs over the edge, and place 1-2 tortillas in the center to fully cover the bottom of the pan.
  4. Spread the protein mixture evenly over the tortillas.
  5. Top with shredded cheese.
  6. Fold the overhanging tortillas over the filling to form a sealed layer. Place another sheet pan on top to press the quesadillas down.
  7. Bake for 20–25 minutes. Remove the top sheet pan during the last 5 minutes for a crispier top.
  8. Let cool slightly, then slice into squares and serve with your favorite dips.

Notes

  • Use rotisserie chicken or leftover meat for quicker prep.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste or use homemade taco seasoning.
  • Remove the top pan for the last few minutes to help crisp the tortillas.
  • Customize with any veggies or proteins you like.
  • Best served fresh, but reheats well in the oven or skillet.
