1
Prepare the Vegetables
Dice the bell onions and tomatoes. Slice the jalapenos into thin rounds, removing the seeds if you prefer less heat.
2
Prepare the Protein
If using chicken or beef, ensure it's cooked and shredded or diced into bite-sized pieces.

3
Heat the Pan
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
4
Assemble the Quesadilla
Place one flour tortilla in the skillet. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese on one half of the tortilla. Add 1/2 cup of the cooked protein, followed by the diced onions, tomatoes, and jalapenos. Top with another 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese and fold the tortilla over.
5
Cook the Quesadilla
Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side, until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is golden brown. Carefully flip the quesadilla and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the second side is golden brown.
6
Repeat
Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling.

7
Slice and Serve
Remove the quesadillas from the skillet, let them cool for a minute, then slice into wedges. Serve warm with salsa or sour cream on the side if desired.
