Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Gather Ingredients

    Collect all the ingredients listed above to ensure you have everything ready for your quesadilla.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Cooking Surface

    Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat. If using, add butter or olive oil to the pan and let it melt.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Assemble Quesadilla

    Place one flour tortilla in the skillet. Evenly sprinkle the shredded cheese over the tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges. Top with the second tortilla.

  2. 4

    Cook Quesadilla

    Cook the quesadilla for about 2-3 minutes or until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt. Carefully flip the quesadilla using a spatula and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.

  3. 5

    Remove and Slice

    Once cooked, remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it sit for a minute. Then, use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to slice it into wedges.

Serving

  1. 6

    Serve with Dips

    Serve the cheese quesadilla warm with salsa, sour cream, and guacamole on the side for dipping.
