Quesadilla Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Gather all the ingredients and shred the Monterey Jack cheese if not already shredded.

  2. 2

    Heat the Pan

    In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Quesadilla

    Place one flour tortilla in the skillet, and sprinkle 1 cup of Monterey Jack cheese evenly over the tortilla. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Top with another tortilla.

  4. 4

    Cook the Quesadilla

    Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until the bottom tortilla is golden brown. Carefully flip the quesadilla using a large spatula, adding another tablespoon of olive oil if necessary, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the other side is golden and the cheese has melted.

  5. 5

    Slice and Serve

    Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it cool for a minute. Cut into wedges and serve warm.
