Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Gather all the ingredients and make sure the chicken or beef is cooked and shredded or crumbled.

  2. 2

    Heat the Skillet

    In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil or butter and allow it to heat up.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Quesadilla

    Place one tortilla in the skillet, sprinkle half of the cheese on one half of the tortilla, add the cooked meat, and then sprinkle the remaining cheese on top. Fold the tortilla over.

  4. 4

    Cook the Quesadilla

    Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese has melted. You can press down gently with a spatula to help it cook evenly.

    Remove from skillet, slice into wedges, and serve with sour cream and salsa on the side.
