Homemade Blackstone S’mores Quesadilla Recipe
Introduction
If you love the classic flavors of s’mores but want a cleaner, easier way to enjoy them outdoors, this Homemade Blackstone S’mores Quesadilla is perfect. It combines melted chocolate, gooey marshmallows, and crunchy graham crackers inside a crisp, buttery tortilla for a fun twist on a campfire favorite.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup crushed graham cracker crumbs (finely crushed, about 8-10 crackers)
- 2 large wheat tortillas (soft and pliable for folding)
- 1/2 cup milk chocolate pieces (such as Ghirardelli chocolate chips)
- Butter for greasing (softened, about 2 tbsp)
- 1 cup small marshmallows (fresh, for better melting)
- Powdered sugar for dusting (optional, adds sweetness and presentation)
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare your filling ingredients by crushing the graham crackers into fine crumbs, measuring out the marshmallows and chocolate pieces, and softening your butter. Heat your griddle to medium-low so it’s ready when you start assembling.
- Step 2: Spread a thin, even layer of softened butter on one side of each tortilla. Place one tortilla buttered-side down onto the griddle, then quickly sprinkle marshmallows, chocolate pieces, and graham cracker crumbs evenly over the unbuttered side. Top with the second tortilla, buttered-side up.
- Step 3: Let the quesadilla cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes until the bottom is golden and crispy. Using a spatula, carefully flip it and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes until golden and the filling starts to ooze slightly.
- Step 4: Transfer the quesadilla to a cutting board and allow it to cool for 1 minute. This helps the filling set enough to slice cleanly. Cut into triangular wedges and sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired before serving.
Tips & Variations
- Use large, soft flour tortillas or burrito-sized for easier folding and more filling space.
- Substitute dark chocolate, white chocolate, or Nutella for different flavors.
- If using regular-sized marshmallows, cut them into smaller pieces to melt evenly.
- Try crushing vanilla wafers or cinnamon sugar cookies if you don’t have graham crackers.
- Cook on medium-low heat to avoid burning the tortilla before the filling melts.
- Don’t overfill the quesadilla to prevent filling from spilling out when flipping.
Storage
Enjoy s’mores quesadillas fresh off the griddle for the best gooey texture. Leftovers can be wrapped in foil and refrigerated for up to 2 days, though they won’t be quite as melty. To freeze, wrap pieces individually in plastic and store in a freezer bag for up to 1 month. Reheat on a griddle over medium-low heat for 2-3 minutes per side or microwave for 30-45 seconds.
How to Serve
Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.
FAQs
Can I use whole wheat tortillas instead of white flour tortillas?
Yes, whole wheat tortillas work, but they tend to be a bit more fragile when folding and flipping, so handle with care.
What if I don’t have graham crackers?
You can substitute crushed vanilla wafers, digestive biscuits, or cinnamon sugar cookies for a tasty alternative crunch in your quesadilla.

Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup crushed graham cracker crumbs (finely crushed, about 8–10 crackers)
- 2 large wheat tortillas (soft and pliable for folding)
- 1/2 cup milk chocolate pieces (Ghirardelli chocolate chips recommended)
- 1 cup small marshmallows (fresh for better melting)
- About 2 tbsp softened butter for greasing
- Powdered sugar for dusting (optional, for sweetness and presentation)
Instructions
- Prepare Mise en Place and Heat the Griddle: Crush graham crackers into fine crumbs using a sealed bag and rolling pin. Measure out marshmallows, chocolate chips, and soften butter. Preheat your Blackstone griddle or any griddle to medium-low heat to ensure even cooking without burning.
- Butter and Layer Tortillas with Filling: Spread a thin, even layer of softened butter on one side of each tortilla. Place the first tortilla buttered side down on the griddle. Sprinkle marshmallows, chocolate, and graham cracker crumbs evenly over the non-buttered side. Top with the second tortilla, buttered side up, creating a sandwich with butter on the outside for crispiness.
- Cook and Flip Until Golden and Melted: Let the quesadilla cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and crispy. Carefully flip using a large spatula and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes until golden and the filling is gooey and slightly oozing. Listen for a gentle sizzle to avoid burning.
- Cool and Slice Into Wedges: Transfer the quesadilla to a cutting board and let cool for 1 minute to allow filling to set slightly. Slice into triangular wedges with a sharp knife or pizza cutter. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar to add a sweet finishing touch and enhance presentation.
Notes
- Use medium-low heat to avoid burning the tortilla before the marshmallows and chocolate melt.
- Do not overfill the quesadilla to prevent filling from spilling out and difficulty flipping.
- Add graham crackers just before folding the quesadilla for a crisp, non-soggy texture.
- Warm stiff tortillas briefly in the microwave to improve pliability and prevent cracking.
- Store leftovers wrapped in foil in the fridge for up to 2 days or freeze individually wrapped for up to 1 month.
- Reheat on a griddle over medium-low heat for 2-3 minutes per side to regain crispiness, or microwave for 30-45 seconds for faster reheating.
- Optional toppings like vanilla ice cream, fresh berries, chocolate sauce, caramel drizzle, or whipped cream pair wonderfully to enhance the dessert experience.
