This Mac and Cheese Quesadillas recipe combines creamy macaroni and cheese with melted cheddar and mozzarella inside crispy folded flour tortillas for a quick, comforting snack or meal. Perfect for using up leftovers and ready in just 20 minutes.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups macaroni and cheese cooked or leftover
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
  • 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1 tablespoon butter for greasing pan
  • 1 tablespoon milk or cream optional
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare Mac and Cheese: Reheat the macaroni and cheese in a microwave or on the stovetop and add milk or cream if needed to loosen the sauce for easier spreading.
  2. Heat Skillet: Place a nonstick skillet over medium heat and melt the butter, coating the pan evenly to prevent sticking and help crisp the tortillas.
  3. Assemble Quesadilla: Place one tortilla in the skillet, spread a generous amount of the warmed macaroni and cheese over half of the tortilla, sprinkle with cheddar and mozzarella cheese, then fold the tortilla over to create a half-moon shape.
  4. Cook Quesadilla: Cook the quesadilla for several minutes on each side until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy and the cheese inside has melted completely.
  5. Serve: Remove from skillet, slice into wedges, season with salt and pepper if desired, and serve warm with salsa or sour cream for dipping.

Notes

  • Use leftover macaroni and cheese for convenience and flavor.
  • Adding milk or cream helps create a creamier filling if your mac and cheese is too thick.
  • Adjust cheese types and amounts based on preference; pepper jack or gouda can add unique flavors.
  • Cook on medium heat to avoid burning the tortilla before the cheese melts.
  • Serve with fresh salsa, sour cream, or guacamole for added taste.
