Sheet Pan Oven Quesadillas
Crispy baked sheet pan quesadillas filled with seasoned beef, cheese, and green onions. Delicious and SO much easier than making individual quesadillas!
Ingredients
- 8 large flour tortillas 10-inch / burrito size
- 1 tbsp olive or vegetable oil
- 1/2 onion diced
- 1.5 lbs ground beef
- 1 packet 1 oz taco seasoning
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded Colby Jack cheese
- 2/3 cup green onions sliced
- Sour cream salsa, and guacamole, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes.
- Add ground beef and cook, breaking it up, until no pink remains, 5–7 minutes. Drain fat.
- Stir in taco seasoning, cumin, and smoked paprika. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat.
- On a 13×18-inch sheet pan, arrange 6 tortillas around edges with halves hanging over. Place 1 tortilla in center to cover bottom.
- Spread beef evenly over tortillas. Top with cheddar, Colby Jack, and green onions.
- Place last tortilla on top (cut if needed). Fold overhanging tortillas over filling. Press gently.
- Place a second sheet pan on top. Bake 20 minutes.
- Remove top pan and bake 10–15 minutes more until golden and crispy.
- Rest 5 minutes. Slice and serve with sour cream, salsa, and guacamole.
Notes
Use a second pan to keep quesadilla compact while baking.
Watch closely at end to avoid over-browning.
