Note

For a milder flavor, reduce the amount of horseradish or use prepared horseradish with less vinegar.

If fresh dill is unavailable, you can substitute with 1/2 teaspoon of dried dill, though fresh is preferred for brightness.

Serve with a dollop of cr&# 195;¨me fraîche or a squeeze of lemon juice to enhance the smoky flavors.

These quesadillas are best served warm and fresh. If making ahead, store in the refrigerator and reheat in a skillet to maintain crispiness.
