Why The Sandwiching Technique Should Never Be Used For Quesadillas
BY COURTNEY ISEMAN
When making a quesadilla, you can either spread the fillings over half of the tortilla and fold it or "sandwich" it by covering one tortilla with cheese and layering on another.
However, when you don't fold your tortilla, flipping the quesadilla on your pan becomes impossible, as your ingredients will fall right out.
The other plus of doing the fold approach, the "half-moon" method, is that it's compact and easier to slice into your wedges once the quesadilla is cooked.
