Ingredients

• Corn tortillas: provide a toasty and crispy exterior and are sturdier than flour tortillas for holding in all the filling
• Semi sweet chocolate chips: the classic gooey chocolate melt use good quality for creamier results
• Mini marshmallows: melt quickly and create that perfect stretchy pull plus you can toast them for extra flavor
• Graham cracker crumbs: give a traditional touch and a subtle crunch go for a fresh box with crisp crackers

Step-by-Step Instructions

Warm the Tortillas:

Place your corn tortillas flat on a large skillet or grill that has been lightly coated with cooking spray over a medium flame If you want extra crispy edges you can brush a bit of butter or oil on them first

Add the Fillings:

Quickly top half of the tortillas with a generous layer of chocolate chips then sprinkle mini marshmallows all over followed by graham cracker crumbs Make sure the toppings are evenly spread so every bite is loaded

Melt and Stack:

Wait as the marshmallows begin to gently puff and the chocolate starts melting Once you see this happening place the remaining tortillas on top of each filled one Press down gently with your spatula to help the two sides seal together

Flip and Finish:

Use your spatula to carefully turn each quesadilla over Let them cook on the opposite side just until golden this will take about one minute You should see the chocolate fully melted and the tortillas lightly browned

Cool and Slice:

Transfer the cooked quesadillas to a plate or platter Let them rest for one or two minutes so the filling can settle Use a pizza cutter or large knife to cut each quesadilla into four neat triangles

Serve Warm:

Serve these right away while the chocolate is gooey and the tortillas are still crisp If desired you can dust a little extra graham cracker crumb over the top for a pretty finish

Storage Tips

S'mores quesadillas are at their best served fresh since the marshmallows will stiffen as they cool If you need to make some ahead you can assemble and wrap them tightly in foil then refrigerate up to a day Just pop the prepped quesadillas onto a warm skillet or grill just before serving to crisp up and re-melt the filling Leftovers will keep in an airtight container for a day but expect a softer texture

Ingredient Substitutions

You can swap in flour tortillas if that is what you have though they will be a bit softer Try using white or dark chocolate depending on what you like or melt in a dollop of peanut butter for extra richness If you want a gluten free version choose gluten free graham crackers and corn tortillas
