Quesadilla Ingredients

Method

Quesadilla Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Gather all the ingredients and shred the cheeses if not pre-shredded.

  2. 2

    Heat the Pan

    In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until it starts to bubble.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Quesadilla

    Place one flour tortilla in the skillet. Evenly spread the cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese over the tortilla, and season with salt and pepper. Top with the second tortilla.

  4. 4

    Cook the Quesadilla

    Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt. Carefully flip the quesadilla and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the other side is golden and the cheese is fully melted.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the quesadilla from the skillet, let it cool for a minute, then cut into wedges. Serve with sour cream on the side.
