    This was good but... I always prefer doing quesadillas in the griddle as it gives them the lovely lines. Also I find that when I make them by this method (ie sprinkling all the ingredients over one and then topping with another) they don't gel together as well as if I but the toppings on one half the tortilla and then fold over.

    Made these today with my 17 year old son, used a griddle as suggested and folded the tortilla over. Very scrummy and tasty, will certainly make again and easy enough for my son.

    Very nice. I prefer a pan to a griddle but agree that they are best folded over. I always like to fry in a small knob of butter which really add to the taste and at first keep the heat low to melt the cheeses and then up it to toast the tortillas before serving - which really makes them delicious.
