Cooking Instructions
Prepare the Ingredients
Gather all the ingredients and have them ready for use. Make sure the cheese is shredded and the tortillas are at room temperature.
Heat the Pan
Place a skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter or cooking oil. Allow it to melt and coat the pan evenly.
Assemble the Quesadilla
Place one tortilla in the skillet. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese evenly over the tortilla. Top with another tortilla.
Cook the First Side
Cook the quesadilla for about 2-3 minutes, or until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and crispy. Carefully flip the quesadilla using a spatula.
Cook the Second Side
Add the remaining tablespoon of butter or oil to the pan if necessary. Cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes until it is also golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Serve
Once cooked, remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it cool slightly. Cut into wedges and serve with sour cream and salsa on the side.
