To save time during the week, make a large batch to freeze. After following the above directions, place individual quesadillas on a parchment-lined baking sheet and flash freeze for 1-2 hours. Remove them from the baking sheet and place them inside a freezer-safe bag. When ready to use, warm in a toaster oven or microwave for 45-60 seconds.
