Quesadilla Ingredients

Method

Quesadilla Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fillings

    In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded cheese with salt and pepper, and set aside.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Quesadilla

    Lay one flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread half of the cheese mixture evenly over the tortilla. Place another tortilla on top.

  3. 3

    Cook the Quesadilla

    Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Carefully place the assembled quesadilla in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes until the bottom is golden brown. Flip the quesadilla and add another tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the second side is golden and the cheese is melted.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it cool for a minute before slicing into wedges. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and cheese mixture.

Salsa Preparation

  1. 5

    Mix the Salsa Ingredients

    In a small bowl, combine diced tomatoes, chopped onion, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

  2. 6

    Serve Salsa

    Serve the salsa alongside the quesadilla for dipping.
