Ingredients for Sheet Pan Quesadillas

Tortillas: Use large flour tortillas to make tortillas easy.

Chicken: Shredded rotisserie chicken is a time saver and perfect for quesadillas, but any leftover chicken will work.

Cheese: This recipe is all about the cheesy ‘glue’ that holds it together. Preshredded cheese, such as a Mexican cheese blend, works just fine in this recipe (and is another time saver).

Seasonings: I keep it quick with few tablespoons of taco seasoning—use a packet or homemade.

Filling: Add your favorite TexMex-inspired ingredients; I love black beans and corn. Other favorites include bell peppers, black olives, and red onions.

Variations and Add-Ins

  • Use leftover homemade chili as a filler and serve with tasty dips like guacamole or pico de gallo and sour cream.
  • Leftover taco meat, ground beef, turkey, or steak are also great choices.
  • Swap up the cheese and try a blend of cheddar cheese, mozzarella, pepper Jack, or Monterey jack.
  • Switch out the black beans for refried beans and omit the corn for diced tomatoes if desired.

How to Make Sheet Pan Quesadillas

Sheet pan quesadillas are quick and easy to make.

  1. Season and simmer chicken over medium heat until water evaporates (recipe below).
  2. Spread the filling and cheese over the top of the tortillas.
  3. Top with remaining tortilla and fold the bottoms up to seal.
  4. Cover the quesadilla with a second baking sheet and bake until the edges crisp.
  5. Remove the top baking sheet and bake for another 5 minutes or until the top and edges are brown and crispy.

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F.

  • In a medium skillet add the chicken, taco seasoning, and water. Simmer over medium-high heat until the water evaporates.

  • Brush one side of each tortilla with oil. Place 6 tortillas, oil side down, on a 18 x 13-inch baking sheet, half hanging off. Place one more tortilla in the center to close the gap.

  • Spread the chicken mixture over the tortillas. Sprinkle the black beans, corn, green onions, and cheese over top.

  • Place the remaining tortilla in the center and fold the bottom tortillas up to seal.

  • Place a second baking sheet on top and bake for 18 minutes until edges start to crisp.

  • Remove the top baking sheet and bake for an additional 3 to 5 minutes or until golden brown and crisp.

  • Rest for 5 minutes before cutting.

Store leftover sheet pan quesadillas in a single layer in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
If adding other raw vegetables such as onions or bell peppers, I like to cook them first in a skillet or the microwave to soften.
Reheat them in the air fryer or in a dry skillet.
