Quesadilla Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    If using optional fillings, chop and sauté them in a pan over medium heat until cooked. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Quesadilla

    Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil. Place one tortilla in the skillet, and sprinkle half of the shredded cheese evenly over it. Add any optional fillings on top, and then sprinkle the remaining cheese. Top with another tortilla.

  3. 3

    Cook the Quesadilla

    Cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt. Carefully flip the quesadilla using a spatula and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the other side is golden and the cheese is fully melted.

  4. 4

    Cut and Serve

    Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it cool for a minute. Cut into wedges and serve with sour cream and salsa.
