Science of Grate Grilling 5.5 CINCO DE MAYO Grilled Quesadillas

Last Updated on May 1, 2010

Break out GrillGrates to grill fabulous Cinco de Mayo Quesadillas.  Invite your friends over for a real treat that you can make ahead of time and just add the toppings before grilling.

Two flour tortillas form a sandwich that becomes the platform for the quesadilla toppings.  You can use several different fillings for the sandwich between the tortillas. 

  • Just Cheese- 3 part mexican cheese or whatever you have in the fridge
  • 3 Bean Mash or can of refried beans sprinkled with a little cheese
  • Even sliced pears and goat cheese

TIP:  Make the flour tortilla bases ahead of time and separate with wax paper.   Make two or three and enjoy putting the toppings on with your guests.  Suggested toppings:

  • Salsa
  • Tomato slices
  • Mexican Cheese
  • Avocado slices
  • NONE- bring inside as chip for dips!

  • Natalies Two-Fisted Quesadilla (basic cheese and salsa)
  • Laura’s Austin Quesadilla (with pears and goat cheese)
  • Sweet & Spicy Quesadilla (brie or swiss cheese and pepper jelly)

GrillGrate TIP:  Keep GrillGrate temp below 400F- no burning of the bottom of the tortilla- just crispy golden sear marks.   LOW on Gas Grills- hood temp will read 300F.  10 minute grilling time required to thoroughly grill toppings and get tortillas crispy.
