Frequently asked
Can I use frozen veggie burgers for this recipe?
Yes! Thaw them first or crumble them while still slightly frozen. They will cook through on the grill.
What if I don't have a grill?
No problem. Cook these in a skillet over medium heat, pressing down gently, until golden and cheese melts, about 3-4 minutes per side.
How do I prevent the quesadillas from opening on the grill?
Make sure to secure each triangle with a toothpick through the folded edges, and place them toothpick-side up on the grill.
Can I make these ahead for a party?
Absolutely. Assemble them up to 24 hours ahead, cover, and refrigerate. Grill just before serving for the best texture.
