ingredients
These taco dip quesadillas require only 3 ingredients that you can get at almost any grocery store or even online!
Here’s what we are working with:
- flour or corn tortillas
- taco dip – homemade or store-bought. I used store-bought taco dip from Costco for the ease. If you do not have taco dip available, simply mix together 1 cup sour cream with 2 tbsp taco seasoning (adjust to taste) for this recipe. NOTE: The taco dip is a filling. You can replace it with leftover cooked veggies, protein of choice, beans, corn, rice or grains.
- shredded cheese
- olive oil, completely optional but is your gateway to quesadilla crispiness!

Heat 1 tsp of olive in a skillet over medium high heat. While the oil is completely optional in this recipe, we highly recommend it for the perfect crispiness in your quesadillas.
Once skillet is hot, place a folded tortilla into the skillet using a spatula to press down on it. Cook about 2-3 minutes and flip; cooking an additional 2 minutes on the other side.
