Method

Quesadilla Preparation

  1. 1

    Heat the Pan

    Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter, allowing it to melt.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Quesadilla

    On one tortilla, sprinkle half of the cheddar and half of the Monterey Jack cheese evenly. Place the second tortilla on top.

  3. 3

    Cook the Quesadilla

    Once the butter is melted, carefully place the assembled quesadilla in the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes or until the bottom is golden brown.

  4. 4

    Flip the Quesadilla

    Using a spatula, carefully flip the quesadilla. Add the remaining tablespoon of butter around the edges of the quesadilla. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the second side is golden and the cheese is melted.

  5. 5

    Slice and Serve

    Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it cool for a minute. Slice into wedges and serve hot.

Fries Preparation

  1. 6

    Cook the Fries

    Prepare the frozen French fries according to package instructions, typically baking or frying until golden and crispy.

  2. 7

    Serve

    Serve the fries hot alongside the quesadilla.

Applesauce Serving

  1. 8

    Dish the Applesauce

    Scoop the applesauce into a small bowl for serving alongside the quesadilla.
