Notes
To freeze: After cooking and assembly. Place quartered quesadillas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and flash freeze them for 1-2 hours. Then remove them and place them into a freezer bag.
To reheat: When ready to eat, warm in a toaster oven until heated through. Or microwave for 30-45 seconds.
