Sheet Pan Loaded Quesadillas

I’ve loved quesadillas since I was a kid, and now I make them for my own! What’s not to love about cheesy, warm tortillas? These Sheet Pan Baked Loaded Quesadillas are the easiest way to get that crispy, cheesy goodness—without standing over multiple skillets.

Instead of cooking them one at a time, you make one giant, loaded sheet pan quesadilla, then slice and share. It’s quick, easy, and perfect for feeding the whole family.

How to Make a Giant Sheet Pan Quesadilla

1. Cook the Beef & Onions
   In a large skillet, cook ground beef and onion until the beef is fully browned and onions are soft. Drain excess grease.
2. Add Seasoning & Veggies
   Stir in taco seasoning and water; simmer for 2–3 minutes. Add beans, corn, and salsa, mixing until well combined.
3. Arrange the Tortillas
   On a greased sheet pan, place 6 tortillas with about ⅓ of each hanging off the edges. Place 1 tortilla in the center to cover gaps. Adjust so no sheet pan shows through.
4. Fill & Top
   Spread the beef mixture evenly over the tortillas. Top with shredded cheese and sliced green onion.
5. Fold & Seal
   Place 1 tortilla in the center on top of the filling, then fold the overhanging tortillas in toward the center, creating a sealed “pocket.”
6. Press
   Place a greased sheet pan on top to act as a press for the quesadilla.

7. Bake & Crisp
   Bake at 400°F for 20 minutes. Remove the top pan, then broil for 1–2 minutes until golden and crispy.
8. Serve
   Slice into squares (like a casserole) and serve with your favorite toppings. Enjoy your giant quesadilla glory!

Quesadilla Toppings

I love Mexican food because it’s all about the toppings—extra cheese, guac, and all the fresh add-ons that take it to the next level. Try adding any of these to your quesadillas for even more flavor:

• Sour cream
• Shredded cheese
• Shredded lettuce
• Diced tomatoes or cherry tomatoes
• Lime wedges
• Guacamole
• Sliced avocado
• Green onions or fresh cilantro
• Salsa
