Making quesadillas in a toaster? Yes, it’s possible! This recipe for two quesadillas is quick, easy, and results in a perfectly crispy, cheesy snack or meal. Ideal for a speedy lunch or savory treat.
Ingredients
- 2 small tortillas (corn or wheat, small enough to fit in your toaster)
- 100 g grated cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a Mexican cheese blend)
Optional fillings:
- 50 g cooked chicken breast, chopped
- 1 tbsp corn
- 2 tbsp black beans
- 1 tbsp finely chopped jalapeños (for a spicy kick)
- Toaster bags (heat-resistant bags made for toaster recipes)
Instructions
1. Prep your quesadilla
Place one tortilla on a plate or work surface. Sprinkle an even layer of cheese over it. Add any optional fillings like chicken, corn, beans, or jalapeños. Top with the second tortilla and press down gently.
2. Pack it up
Place the filled tortilla into a toaster bag. This keeps the cheese and fillings from making a mess inside your toaster.
3. Toast it
Put the toaster bag in the toaster and toast on a medium setting (usually between 2 and 3) for about 2–3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is lightly crisped. Check occasionally to prevent burning.
4. Serve
Carefully remove the quesadilla from the toaster bag. Slice into wedges with a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
5. Optional toppings
Serve with a side of guacamole, salsa, or sour cream for extra flavor.
Variation Tips
- Vegetarian version: Skip the chicken and add more veggies like bell peppers, spinach, or mushrooms.
- Cheese twist: Try swapping the cheese for blue cheese, brie, or any favorite meltable cheese for a unique flavor.
These toaster quesadillas are a fun and crispy solution for a quick bite. Perfect as a snack or light meal with a touch of Mexican flair. Enjoy!
