I love to make Blackstone Quesadillas, and in honor of National Quesadilla Day on September 25, these are my favorite Quesadillas on the Blackstone griddle. But honestly, is there ever a wrong day for a Quesadilla?

I love that Quesadillas can use leftover smoked meat to make lunch, dinner, or snacks! The smoker is often dirty, but the Blackstone is still clean. I use either my 17-inch Blackstone or my 36-inch Blackstone. These are also perfect for camping or on the job site to throw together for an easy meal.

how to make quesadillas on Blackstone
Start with a clean Blackstone Griddle. If you aren’t sure How To Care for your Blackstone Griddle, see my post -> here.
Gather your tortillas, meats, cheese, vegetables, sauces, and other ingredients.
Make sure your Blackstone is freshly oiled, I use vegetable oil on mine with no problems,++- and it’s cheap.
Fire up your Blackstone and turn the burners to a low medium heat.
If you are buttering your tortillas do so, and start to layer up your tortilla with meat, cheeses, and sauces on half of the tortilla and fold it in half.
Once your griddle is warm place your folded in uncooked quesadilla.
Using a long spatula gently lift up the tortilla to make sure the tortilla isn’t burning and flip when it is ready.

Allow to finish cooking, using the melting dome will help to allow the cheese to fully melt in the Quesadilla.
Remove and serve!

How to store leftover Blackstone Griddle quesadillas
Ensure the quesadillas have completely cooled before you place them in the fridge. If they are not cooled off, they will sweat and become soggy. Once cooled, you can store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days or freeze them for up to a month.
