Method

Preparing the Quesadillas

1

Cook the Quesadillas

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place one tortilla in the skillet, sprinkle half of the cheese evenly on top, add chicken or beef if using, and then sprinkle the remaining cheese. Top with another tortilla. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and the cheese starts to melt. Carefully flip the quesadilla and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the other side is golden brown. Remove from skillet and let cool slightly before cutting into wedges.
