Cook the Quesadilla
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil around the edges of the quesadilla. Cook for about 3-4 minutes or until the bottom is golden brown. Carefully flip the quesadilla using a spatula and cook the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes until golden and the cheese is melted.

Repeat for Remaining Quesadilla
Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling to make a total of two quesadillas. Use the remaining olive oil as needed.
