What Makes It Special

A regular quesadilla is one tortilla folded over with cheese inside.
But a stacked quesadilla? That’s something else!
You layer tortillas with cheese and fillings in between — like a big, cheesy cake.
Bake it until the cheese melts and the top gets golden.
Slice it like a pie and watch the cheese stretch with every bite.
It’s fun to make, fun to eat, and perfect for sharing.

👩‍🍳 How to Make It

1. Get ready

Turn on your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Grease a baking sheet or a round cake pan with a little oil or butter.

2. Start stacking!

Put one tortilla on your baking sheet or pan.
Sprinkle a thin layer of cheese over the tortilla.
Add some of your fillings — a little meat, a little veggies.
Sprinkle more cheese on top.

Put another tortilla on top.
Repeat: cheese, fillings, cheese.
Keep going until you use all your tortillas.

3. Finish the top

On the very top tortilla, sprinkle a little extra cheese.
This gets golden and crispy in the oven — so good!

4. Bake it

Put the stacked quesadilla in the oven.
Bake for 15–20 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the top is golden and bubbly.

5. Let it rest

Take it out of the oven.
Let it sit for 5 minutes before cutting — this helps the layers hold together.

6. Slice and serve

Cut it like a pie — into wedges.
Serve with sour cream, salsa, guacamole, and anything else you love!
