Quesadilla Ingredients

Method

Quesadilla Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Gather all your ingredients and prepare the meat by cooking it if it's raw. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Quesadilla

    On one half of each tortilla, layer shredded cheese, choice of meat, diced onions, and diced tomatoes. Optionally, add cooked rice and black beans for extra filling.

  3. 3

    Cook the Quesadilla

    Fold the tortilla over to cover the filling. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place the quesadilla in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Slice the quesadilla into wedges and serve hot with shredded lettuce, sour cream, and extra toppings if desired.
