Notesa) Best Leftover Mac and Cheese - You preferably want mac and cheese made with actual macaroni (i.e nice and small). Extra points if your mac and cheese was made with mozzarella - this will keep it compacted within the quesadilla. In all cases just make sure it's room temp when you use it.
b) Can I make Mac and Cheese just for this recipe? - If you're looking for a mac and cheese recipe here's my full range. If you're using any of these you probably won't need extra fillings as they're all quite funky as they are.
Spicy Jalapeño Mac and Cheese
Roasted Garlic Mac and Cheese
Smoky Chipotle Mac and Cheese
Buffalo Chicken Mac and Cheese
Brie Mac and Cheese
c) Fillings - Here's what I use in the recipe/video:
Caramelized Onions
Bacon (make sure it's finely diced or the quesadillas won't close properly)
Buffalo Sauce, Blue Cheese and Chives
You can really use anything you fancy though! Just make sure it's all very finely diced to ensure the quesadillas shut properly.
d) Can I make large Quesadillas? - Yup! They're just not quite as cute!!
e) Calories - Per mini quesadilla WITHOUT extra fillings. Very rough estimate as all mac and cheeses will be different.
