Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cheeses

    Grate or tear the Oaxaca and mozzarella cheeses and combine them in a bowl.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Quesadilla

    Take one flour tortilla and spread a generous amount of the cheese mixture evenly over half of the tortilla. Fold the tortilla over to create a half-moon shape.

  3. 3

    Cook the Quesadilla

    Heat a skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, place the folded quesadilla in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Cut the quesadillas into wedges and serve hot with a side of sour cream. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
