This sheet pan quesadilla recipe was created in partnership with Bush’s Beans.

For the last few weeks I’ve been really making an effort to write out, shop for, and follow a meal plan during the week. It’s worked wonders for us. The question of what to make for dinner is no longer an issue, and I feel more prepared each day. It’s definitely a habit I’m trying to stick with.

At least one night a week we squeeze in a Mexican themed meal. If it’s a particularly busy night I’ll even turn that Mexican meal into a meatless one to save the extra steps involved to cook up the meat. I always have cans of beans on hand, and if it was up to me, it would be my protein of choice on most nights. Mexican nights are the perfect nights for a good, easy meatless recipe if you ask me!

Sheet Pan Quesadillas

I’ve always loved making quesadillas for the family but I have to be honest, standing and cooking each one up individually like I normally do just doesn’t cut it on those busier nights. I came across this recipe for baked shrimp quesadillas a while back and it really opened my eyes to a new way of cooking them! I’ve tried this oven baking method for quesadillas a few times now and it really is great for cooking up a large quantity for family dinner or get togethers. With the help of a sheet pan you can get a healthy dinner on the table quick!

How to make oven baked quesadillas

The filling is simple – I have a feeling you already have these ingredients in your kitchen. It’s fun to play around and change things up by adding a little onion, corn or even fresh chopped cilantro to the mix. Add some cooked diced chicken or steak for a heartier meat version. The choice is yours.

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Place one can of beans into a bowl and gently mash with a potato masher or the back of a fork. Mix in the remaining can of whole beans, 1 cup of salsa and cumin. (Here you would add any additional mix ins like chopped onion, corn or cilantro).
  3. Place tortillas flat on a large cutting board, you may need to do 4 at a time depending on space.
  4. Spread mixture evenly on half of 8 tortillas. Top with cheese. Fold over and place on lightly greased baking sheet.
  5. Brush each quesadilla with a small amount of oil (or spray with cooking spray). Place in oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until cheese is melted and tortillas are lightly browned.
  6. Cut into wedges and serve with additional salsa and sour cream (or plain Greek yogurt).

  1. Simple meals like this are the best! Love the look of these 🙂

  2. I wasn’t so sure about Oven Baked Quesadillas when I saw the post title (I like to use my panini maker), but the idea of getting to have all the quesadillas done at once? Genius!! I will definitely be trying this.

  3. I have not made quesadillas… and I definitely need to! What a great, quick and easy dinner ~~ that also satisfies my constant craving for Mexican food. 🙂 This will be great on one of our busier nights when there is not much time left to cook. Great recipe… pinning to add to next week’s menu plan!

  4. Definitely having this for dinner tonight. I love the oven-baked twist! Quesadillas are a favorite of ours!

  5. I love the idea of oven baking the quesadillas! I’m totally trying this! They look just perfect drool!

  6. Yes, please!! These look awesome and we love quesadillas around here!

  7. I love black bean quesadillas… these look amazing!

  8. I have to meal plan, for sure. Usually on Saturday, with my books and printouts and highlighter pens…then shopping on Sunday, with my list organized by aisle. Anal? Who?I have a whole system. HA. The inconvenience of “one at a time” is how I feel about pancakes. Wonder if those could be baked in the oven somehow. Love these!

  9. Your cheesy black bean quesadillas look fantastic Aggie, need to try your recipe soon.

  10. My husband loves mexican! As does my brother! I can see both of them chowing down on these!

  11. I would love these for supper! They look amazing!!!

  12. Oh, I am drooling. Looks soooo delicious.

  13. I love the idea of baking quesadillas–I never thought to do this. I love meatless quesadillas too. They are just as filling and delicious as the ones with chicken or beef. This would be a great recipe for me to make myself for lunch. Printing it up now!

  14. I have definitely got to try this – I love the idea of baking them all at once!!

  15. OMG. Baked. So perfect. I’m dying.

  16. I can ALWAYS do quesadillas… with a margarita (or 3).

  17. Love, love, love this technique to make tons of quesadillas at once. Can’t wait to try this recipe, Aggie!

  18. These look so mouthwatering, Aggie! Lovely summer meal – and so easy, too!

  19. Looking at that can of Bush’s beans brought a tinge of homesickness. I haven’t had Bush’s beans since I left the South for Australia. It’s a quality product and your quesadillas would make me happy.

  20. Mouth watering!! I am always ready to eat a good quesadilla 🙂 this looks perfect!!

  22. These look amazing! Did you make the salsa? I would love to have the recipe if so.

  23. I added grilled onions cooked in chili powder, green chilis, and added some sliced avocados on top when I was done.

  24. These are great. Been making these a long time, but have never made them in the oven. Thanks

  25. I just made these and everyone loved them! I threw some chopped chicken in there (sorry, not meatless) and chopped onion, and put avocado + sour cream on top. Thanks for the awesome recipe!

    • I will add chicken next time! So happy everyone enjoyed them, thanks so much for letting me know! Have a great week!

  26. Any idea how many calories these have? I’m trying to find low-calorie mexican recipes to satisfy a craving every now and then.

    • I haven’t calculated the calories, but I like to use MyFitnessPal.com ‘s nutritional calculator when I do. Depending on the type of tortilla you use would be the biggest factor for calories, and how much cheese. The rest is fairly low calorie!

  27. Has anyone tried preparing these in advance? I’m trying this for a group, and want all the prep work done.

    • I would definitely prepare the filling in advance, then just put together the quesadillas when you are ready to bake. Let me know how they turn out for you!

  28. SHUT. THE. FRONT. DOOR!!!!
    I wanted something quick and easy for dinner and stumbled upon your recipe (what the heck took me so long!!)

    This was super quick and easy and baking them is genius. I never would have thought of that. I only had mango salsa in the fridge (I use it all the time with salmon), and to my surprise, it was quite refreshing and tasty with the black bean and guacamole. I’ll be making this again, but the best part is the leftovers I have for lunch tomorrow!!

    Great recipe, thank you!!

    • Thank so much for the feedback, I really appreciate it! Glad you enjoyed them, they are a favorite of mine! I love mango salsa!

  29. Made these on Sunday night. Really enjoyed them. And they were a good meal for being on call: when you can be called into the lab at any moment, you want a meal that is quick and simple and can still taste great.

  30. Tried this last night, I added chopped red bell pepper, frozen corn, frozen chopped spinach (I had to heat it up a bit because I didn’t take them out to thaw), I wanted to spice it up even more so I added Mexican chili powder, Slap Ya Mama seasoning, and Season All. I loved it & more importantly, my meat eating family enjoyed it. This is a nice meatless dish that will go in cooking schedule.
