Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tortillas

    Heat a skillet over medium heat and add 1 tbs of olive oil.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Quesadilla

    Place one tortilla in the skillet. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and 1/2 cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese evenly over the tortilla.

  3. 3

    Add the Second Tortilla

    Top with the second tortilla and press down gently.

  4. 4

    Cook the Quesadilla

    Cook for 3-4 minutes until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt. Carefully flip the quesadilla using a spatula and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it cool for a minute before cutting it into wedges. Serve with sour cream, salsa, and fresh cilantro on the side.
