Storage Time
3–4 days in the refrigerator, up to 2–3 months in the freezer.
Temperature
Store refrigerated quesadillas at or below 4°C (40°F).
Freezing
To freeze quesadillas, allow them to cool completely. Wrap individual quesadillas tightly in plastic wrap, then place them in a freezer-safe bag or airtight container to prevent freezer burn. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating in a skillet or oven for best results. Freezing may slightly alter the texture of the tortilla, making it a bit softer upon reheating.
Signs of Spoilage
- A sour or off odor emanating from the quesadilla.
- Visible mold growth, which can appear as fuzzy patches of various colors.
- Slimy or sticky texture on the tortilla or filling.
