Hailee and Mike love TB's Quesadillas. I tried to make them like I thought they would be made. To me, it looks like the cheese from the mac and cheese that I make, where I make a roux first then add the cheese, but no that isn't how it is made. They said it was good but not the same. So I went to trusty Google and looked up the recipe. Did you know that they use mayo in their quesadilla? I had no idea! They put a sauce on it and use three different types of cheeses. Hailee didn't like the minced jalapeno slices so the next time I just added a little extra jalapeno juice and left out the minced jalapeno slices. Mike thought it tasted just like Taco Bell's, but better because I made them crispy. My family likes everything crispy!
Taco Bell Creamy Jalapeno Sauce Recipe
¼ cup mayonnaise
2 teaspoons minced jalapeno slices
2 teaspoons juice from jalapeno slices
¾ teaspoon sugar
½ teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon cumin
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
dash salt
Prepare creamy jalapeno sauce by combining all ingredients in a small bowl and whisk.
Cover and chill so that flavors develop. Stir occasionally.
Use 1 tablespoon sauce per tortilla. 
Taco Bell's Quesadilla Recipe
One recipe of jalapeno sauce
4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded Monterey jack cheese
2 slices American cheese
Preheat a 12-inch skillet over medium low heat.
When the pan is hot lay one tortilla in the pan. Arrange about 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and 1/4 cup of shredded jack cheese on half of the tortilla. Tear up half a slice of American cheese and arrange it on the other cheeses.
Spread about 1 tablespoon of jalapeno sauce over the tortilla on the half with no ingredients on it.
Fold the sauced-covered half of the tortilla over onto the ingredients on the other half and press down with a spatula.
Cook for about 1 minute, then turn the quesadilla over and cook for a couple more minutes or until the cheese inside is melted. Slice into four pieces and serve hot. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. 
If you want to make them veggie chicken quesadilla. Fry or grill your favorite chicken substitute with salt and pepper. Thinly slice and arrange about 1/4 cup of sliced chicken over the cheese.
Makes 4 quesadillas. 
Have a wonderful day and enjoy!

My son loves those quesadillas too, I'll bet he'd adore these :)
That looks like the ultimate quesadilla.
That looks like really good Sunday comfort couch food to me! I haven't had the ones from Taco Bell, but I'm sold on yours. I'll make these for David one day and let you know his verdict. :)
This sauce has been my white whale for many years. I made steak quesadillas; this tastes just like Taco Bell. AMAZING.
