Quesadilla Ingredients

Method

Quesadilla Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil or butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté until they are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the sliced jalapenos and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Quesadilla

    Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface. Evenly spread half of the shredded cheese over one half of the tortilla. Top with the sautéed onion and jalapeno mixture, then sprinkle the remaining cheese on top. Fold the tortilla in half to cover the filling.

  3. 3

    Cook the Quesadilla

    In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil or butter. Place the folded quesadilla in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove the quesadillas from the skillet and let them cool for a minute. Cut into wedges and serve warm with salsa or sour cream on the side.
