Quesadilla Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Gather all ingredients: tortillas, shredded cheddar cheese, olive oil, salsa, and sour cream.

  2. 2

    Heat the Pan

    Place a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, allowing it to warm up.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Quesadilla

    Place one tortilla in the heated pan. Evenly sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the tortilla, then top with another tortilla.

  4. 4

    Cook the Quesadilla

    Cook the quesadilla for about 3-4 minutes or until the bottom tortilla is golden brown. Carefully flip the quesadilla using a spatula and add the remaining olive oil if necessary. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the second side is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

    Slice the Quesadilla

    Remove the quesadilla from the pan and let it sit for a minute. Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to slice it into wedges.
