Tips:
- 1: Use a soft, pliable tortilla for easier folding and cooking.
- 2: You can add other vegetables like bell peppers or onion for extra crunch and flavor.
- 3: If you prefer a milder heat, reduce the amount of pepper sauce or opt for a milder variety.
- 4: For a crispier quesadilla, cook on medium heat and make sure the tortilla is evenly browned on both sides.
- 5: Cut the quesadilla into wedges using a sharp knife or pizza cutter for easy serving.
