My sheet pan quesadilla recipe is super handy on busy nights.  The fillings and topping you can add are endless. Make this recipe your own. If you don’t care for beef fillings, add shrimp. Don’t like shrimp, add chicken. Basically, add you’r favorite fillings. I usually go for beef or chicken because that’s what my family loves. Choose your favorite toppings or eat them without toppings.
