Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Gather all the ingredients: flour tortillas, shredded cheddar cheese, shredded Monterey Jack cheese, sour cream, and cooked rice.

  2. 2

    Cook the Rice

    If not already cooked, prepare rice according to package instructions. Allow it to cool slightly before serving.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Assemble the Quesadilla

    Take one tortilla and sprinkle half of the cheddar cheese and half of the Monterey Jack cheese evenly over one half of the tortilla.

  2. 4

    Fold the Tortilla

    Fold the tortilla over to cover the cheese, creating a half-moon shape.

  3. 5

    Cook the Quesadilla

    Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the folded quesadilla on the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese is melted.

  4. 6

    Repeat Cooking

    Remove the cooked quesadilla from the skillet and repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and cheese.

Serving

  1. 7

    Cut and Serve

    Cut each quesadilla into wedges and serve hot with a side of cooked rice and a generous dollop of sour cream.
