Quesadillas is not a routine dog treat. A plain cheese quesadilla is mostly a rich dairy-and-fat snack, but chicken, steak, onion, garlic, salsa, and seasoned fillings can change the answer. Assess the filling and dips, not just the tortilla. A small taste and a large raid are different situations, so check the recipe or package before deciding what to do.
