Q&A Section

Q: Can I make this in the oven or air fryer?
Yes! Bake at 375°F for about 8–10 minutes, or air fry at 370°F for 5–6 minutes per side. Flip halfway for even crispiness.

Q: What kind of ground beef should I use?
An 85/15 blend gives you great flavor without too much grease. Just be sure to drain any excess before assembling.

Q: Can I prep these ahead of time?
Absolutely. Assemble the quesadillas and store them in the fridge. Cook just before serving for the best crunch.
