- Step 6: Optional: Lightly brush or spray the outside of each folded quesadilla with olive oil for a crispier texture.
- Step 7: Place the quesadillas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Step 8: Bake for about 15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the tortillas are golden and the cheese is melted.
- Step 9: Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before cutting into wedges.
