Quesadilla Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Make the Tortillas

    In a mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Gradually add water and olive oil, mixing until a dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth. Divide into 8 equal balls and let rest for 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Tortillas

    Roll each ball into a thin circle, about 6 inches in diameter. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook each tortilla for about 1 minute on each side until lightly golden. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Quesadilla

    Place one tortilla on the skillet, sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheese on half of the tortilla, fold the other half over, and press gently. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is golden brown.

  4. 4

    Finish Cooking

    Add butter to the skillet before flipping the quesadilla for extra flavor. Repeat the process with remaining tortillas and cheese.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Cut the quesadilla into wedges and serve hot with pico de gallo, guacamole, and sour cream.
