Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Gather Ingredients

    Collect all the ingredients listed above in one place to ensure you have everything you need.

  2. 2

    Preheat the Pan

    Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat for about 2 minutes.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Assemble the Quesadilla

    Place one flour tortilla in the heated pan. Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and 1/2 cup of Monterey Jack cheese evenly over the tortilla.

  2. 4

    Add Second Tortilla

    Top with a second flour tortilla. Press down slightly to help the cheese stick.

  3. 5

    Cook the First Side

    Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt.

  4. 6

    Flip and Cook the Second Side

    Carefully flip the quesadilla using a spatula. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the second side is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.

  5. 7

    Remove from Heat

    Once both sides are golden and crispy, remove the quesadilla from the pan and place it on a cutting board.

  6. 8

    Cut and Serve

    Cut the quesadilla into wedges and serve warm with optional toppings like sour cream, salsa, and chopped cilantro.
