Storage
- Store: You can store leftover jalapeño popper quesadillas in an airtight container or a resealable plastic bag in the fridge for up to 3 days. Place pieces of parchment paper between layers of quesadilla to keep them from sticking together.
- Freeze: To reheat quesadillas, place them back into a hot skillet, heating them over medium-high heat until both sides are crispy and the center is heated through. An air fryer would also work well, but try to avoid using the microwave, as this could cause the dish to become soggy.
