I like making quesadillas at home, and I like Taco Bell's

You need to use real Mexicans

>>9317113
Use lower quality ingrediants.

I'm not sure why you would want to set your sights on something so low. Why imitate a shitty quesadilla when you can do so much better?

>>How exactly is the Taco Bell one cooked,
You can watch them make them. They take a tortilla, put cheese & pre-cooked meat inside it, fold, then put it on a panini press and let it run for a set time. I think it's about 45 seconds.

>>but by that point it's very crispy,
That's a good thing IMHO. Though if you want them soggy you could cook at higher heat for less time. That way you get the browning on the outside but there's no time for the tortilla to cook all the way through and get crisp.

Ahhh I see....I always figured they just fried it on a grill.

Does anybody have a panini press to describe the results at home?

>That's a good thing IMHO.
Sometimes, sometimes I crave the soft but still toasty texture though but at the same time don't feel like going to Taco Bell (frankly their quesadillas are overpriced)

Alright, I'll try that and see if it works today when I make lunch. My only fear there is that the cheese won't get enough time to melt that way

Google a recipe for the creamy jalapeño sauce they throw in em. Little meat little cheese blend and that sauce should get you pretty darn close to what they serve.

This. What sauce you use in your quesadillas determines a lot about the final product. If you're not using sauce in them, you're doing it wrong.

>corn tortilla
>oaxaca cheese (I personaly use gouda but not everyone likes it)
>pure lard (to fry on pan not as a toping you fat fucks)
there, you can't fuck up with that, and for the love of christ stop using wheat tortillas, they are only for burritas

Maybe try grilling it until the crispy point that you've described, then shoving it in a bag and letting it sit for a while? It seems like part of the reason why the Taco Bell ones are less crisp is because there's some amount of time they spend in the container, almost steaming

You're a shithead, its makes sense. Frying does not only mean deep frying. something submerged in oil.

>>9317709
>doenst fry on a griddle
>doesnt know what a frying pan is

Have you ever actually cooked before?

>>9317115

That doesn't explain how Taco Bell does it.

He may have been referring to the fact that as a fast food place, Taco Bell doesn't really cook any meals to order 'on the grill' per se
