Keywords: Feel free to swap out cheeses or add cooked chicken for extra protein. Add diced bell peppers or olives as “ornaments” on your tree-shaped quesadillas for added fun and flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days; reheat in a skillet for best results.
