  • On half of each tortilla, sprinkle some cheese, chicken, red pepper, onion, and jalapeño slices. Fold the other half over to close. Place uncooked quesadillas on a cookie sheet in a single layer and freeze. Once frozen, carefully transfer to a large resealable freezer bag (about 4 will fit in a bag), seal, and freeze.

Skillet cooking instructions:

  • Cook from frozen. Remove one or more quesadillas from the bag. Cook in skillet, covered on medium heat, flipping partway through. Quesadilla is done when the cheese is melted and tortilla is golden brown.

Oven cooking instructions:

  • Cook from frozen. Remove one or more quesadillas from the bag. Place on baking sheet and cook in 350° oven for 7 minutes, and then check for doneness. Quesadillas should have melted cheese and be golden brown when done.

Air fryer cooking instructions:

  • Cook from frozen. Preheat air fryer to 350°. Place quesadilla in air fryer and cook for 8 minutes, flipping half way. Quesadillas should have melted cheese and be golden brown when done.
