Quesadilla Maker: Hints for Best Results

• IMPORTANT! The Quesadilla Maker cannot cook foods. Ingredients must be cooked.
This Quesadilla Maker is used to melt cheese and warm ingredients.
• When preparing quesadillas, use fresh, 8-inch flour tortillas. Various flavored tortillas can be used
for a variety of interesting tastes and a fun, colorful presentation.
• Suitable fillings for traditional quesadillas include shredded or sliced cheese, refried beans, thinly
sliced pieces of cooked meats sausages, cooked ground or pulled meats and poultry, and/or
pre-cooked vegetables.
IMPORTANT: Do not use any foods with bones or pits.
• Do not over-stuff the quesadillas as the filling may leak into the reservoir. The filling should be
spread evenly up to a 1/2 inch on the tortilla. Generally, 1/2 cup of shredded cheese will work well.
• Quesadillas should be slightly crisp but not overdone. Do not grill for more than 7 minutes.
• To reheat previously grilled quesadillas, match up the triangle shapes to those on the cooking
plates. Reheat for 1 to 2 minutes.
• Use a pizza cutter or a sharp, serrated knife to slice the quesadilla for serving.
