Have you seen these sheet pan quesadillas around lately? I saw someone make them on tiktok and I was OBSESSED! All of the the versions that I have seen had either chicken or ground beef in them so I genuinely wanted to make a vegetarian and vegan friendly version.

One of the worst parts (genuinely THE only bad part) about making quesadillas is that you either need to dirty a bunch of skillets so that so that everyone’s food is ready at the same time, OR you have to cook in small batches and everyone eats separately.

These sheet pan quesadillas solve this issue in such a delightfully SIMPLE way and Worth keeping them for that:)

This is such a fun and unfussy way to make quesadillas for a crowd. My recipe as written makes about 4 servings BUT you could easily double all of the ingredients and cook it all on a larger sheet pan to serve more like 8 people (or even more if it’s an appetizer).

I used real cheese in my quesadillas because it’s my BIGGEST weakness in life. However, you could easily swap it for a vegan cheese (I’m a big fan of Violife!) OR you could even use my vegan nacho cheese sauce in this method.

Let’s go over how to make these:

You’re going to start out by greasing a baking sheet and then lining it with flour tortillas. I used 6 inch tortillas but larger ones would also work well.

As you can see in the photo, you want to fully cover the sheet pan with a decent bit of the tortilla hanging over the edges. The tortilla that is hanging over will get wrapped over top of the fillings and used as the top of the quesadillas.

For the inside, I used cheese, black beans, onion + pepper, and some spices. I wanted to keep this simple but feel free to add in whatever you’d like! You could also add some extra flavor by sauteeing the veggies before adding them into the quesadilla! I’m planning to try that next YUM!

All of the ingredients get placed directly on top of the tortillas and tossed gently so that the spices are thoroughly mixed in. Then you cover the top with a few more tortillas and fold over the sides so that everything is sealed. To keep the tortillas in place, put another sheet pan on top of the quesadilla and then put it in the oven.

We’ll then remove the top sheet pan for the last bit of the baking process to allow the tortillas to get browned and CRISPY!

AND that’s it! Especially unfussy and seriously my new go-to way to make quesadillas.

As usual, if you end up making this method, please snap a photo and tag me on Instagram @! And it genuinely helps me out a lot when you come back and leave a review on the recipe. I greatly appreciate it and always love to see what y’all are making from the blog!
