Queso Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese, shredded Monterey Jack cheese, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Quesadilla

    Take one flour tortilla and spread a generous amount of the cheese filling on one half of the tortilla. Fold the other half over to cover the filling.

  3. 3

    Cook the Quesadilla

    In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Place the folded quesadilla in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until the bottom is golden brown. Flip and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes, adding more butter if necessary.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it cool for a minute before cutting it into wedges. Serve with sour cream, salsa, and fresh cilantro on the side.
