Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Slice the onions and set them aside. Grate the cheese if not pre-shredded.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Quesadilla

    Heat the olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Place one tortilla in the skillet and sprinkle half of the cheese evenly over it. Add the sliced onions on top of the cheese, then sprinkle the remaining cheese. Top with the second tortilla.

  3. 3

    Cook the Quesadilla

    Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the bottom tortilla is golden and the cheese starts to melt. Carefully flip the quesadilla using a spatula and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side until golden and crispy.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it cool for a minute. Cut into wedges and serve warm. Optionally, serve with guacamole on the side.
