How to make a Quesadilla in the shape of a heart

Since a tortilla is very soft it is simple to change the shape of it with just a pairing knife. If you’re not good at free handing a heart shape then you can carefully fold it in half and just cut out the half of the heart along the edge of the tortilla. When you open it back up you will have an even tortilla heart.

If you are like me and not so great at cutting things into shapes, just grab this 10 inch heart shaped cookie cutter – then you have no worries at all!

When I’m cutting out the tortillas I make sure that I stack two of them on top of each other so that way when I go to cook them they are the same size.

What goes good in quesadilla?

You don’t have to stick with just cheese for these heart shaped quesadillas, you can totally change them up to be different types. There are lots of different quesadilla filling options, you could even turn these into buffalo chicken quesadillas!

You will need the cheese so that it melts, but aside from that the combinations are basically endless and you can customize them however you want. I prefer to have my quesadillas with cheese, a veggie or 2 and a meat.

• Chicken
• steak
• Ground beef with homemade taco seasoning
• tomatoes
• onions
• peppers
• mushrooms
• black olives
• jalapeno peppers

What do you dip a quesadilla in?

When we make quesadillas we love making homemade salsa, and homemade guacamole for dipping, but they also taste amazing dipped in sour cream!

What to Serve with quesadillas

Heart Quesadilla Ingredients

• 4 8 inch tortillas
• 1/2 Cup Mexican blend of shredded cheese

Heart Quesadilla Directions

Preheat your griddle or a large sauté pan to medium heat.

Stack two tortillas on top of each other on your cutting board. Using a paring knife cut out a heart shaped making sure to save as much tortilla so it will be a large heart. Repeat this with the other two tortillas.

Place two tortillas down on the griddle and add 1/4 cup of the cheese to each tortilla. Spread the cheese evenly so it covers the whole heart. Top each heart with its matching tortilla.

When the bottom of the tortilla starts to get golden brown use a spatula to flip the quesadilla over. Cook until the bottom is golden brown as well then remove from heat.

Served with a side of salsa or sour cream.
