Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Gather all the ingredients. If using butter, let it soften at room temperature for easier spreading.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Heat the Pan

    Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat. If using olive oil or butter, add it to the skillet and let it melt.

  2. 3

    Assemble the Quesadilla

    Place one tortilla in the skillet. Sprinkle half of the cheddar and half of the Monterey Jack cheese evenly over the tortilla. Top with the second tortilla.

  3. 4

    Cook the Quesadilla

    Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt. Carefully flip the quesadilla using a spatula.

  4. 5

    Finish Cooking

    Cook the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes until golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.

  5. 6

    Serve

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