HOW TO STORE LEFTOVER SHEET PAN QUESADILLAS

  • Store these Sheet Pan Quesadillas, wrapped in plastic wrap and placed in an airtight container, in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Then reheat in the microwave or the oven.
  • You can also store your cooked quesadillas in the freezer for up to 2 months. I like to save space in my freezer by first flash freezing the quesadillas on the sheet pan and then transfer them to a Ziploc bag for storage. Defrost these in the refrigerator overnight and then reheat them in the microwave or oven when ready to enjoy again.
