📝 Notes & Tips
- Meat Option: Add grilled chicken or lamb for extra protein.
- Vegan Version: Use plant-based cheese and dairy-free hummus.
- Crunch Boost: Add bell peppers or cucumber slices before grilling.
- Make Ahead: Cooled quesadillas keep well for 2 days in the fridge; reheat in a skillet or oven for crispiness.
