Quesadilla Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare Ingredients

    Gather all the ingredients and prepare the fillings by shredding the chicken or beef, chopping the lettuce, and dicing the tomato.

  2. 2

    Assemble Quesadillas

    Place a tortilla in a large skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle half of the tortilla with shredded cheese, add the shredded chicken or beef, followed by some lettuce and tomato. Top with more cheese and fold the tortilla over.

  3. 3

    Cook Quesadilla

    Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side until golden brown, then carefully flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the cheese is melted and the second side is golden brown.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it cool for a minute. Cut into wedges and serve with sour cream and your choice of salsa ranchera or guacamole.
