Perfect for serving a crowd, these ooey, gooey, cheesy quesadillas will please even the pickiest of eaters. While the quesadillas bake, make a salsa to serve with them. You can dress-up a store-bought fresh salsa with chopped mango, pineapple or even peaches or by simply adding some fresh squeezed lime juice and chopped cilantro. If you’re serving a crowd, sprinkle chopped green onion over the cooked quesadillas to garnish. Serve with raw veggies, like carrot sticks, red pepper slices, and cucumber slices, to offer your guests a crunchy accompaniment. If your baking sheets are too small to hold all four quesadillas, use two smaller baking sheets and bake them side-by-side in the oven.
