1
Shred the Cheese
Using a grater, shred the Oaxaca cheese and Queso Blanco into a large bowl. Mix them together to combine.

2
Chop the Vegetables
Dice the tomatoes and finely chop the red onion and fresh cilantro. Combine them in a separate bowl.
3
Mix Salsa Fresca
Add lime juice and salt to the diced vegetables. Stir well to combine and set aside to allow the flavors to meld.

4
Assemble the Quesadilla
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place one tortilla in the skillet, sprinkle a generous amount of the cheese mixture on one half of the tortilla, and fold the other half over.
5
Cook the Quesadilla
Cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side until golden brown, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side until the cheese is melted.
6
Repeat
Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and cheese mixture.

7
Serve with Salsa Fresca
Cut the quesadillas into wedges and serve warm with the prepared salsa fresca on the side.
