Method

Cooking Instructions

Prepare the filling

In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil or butter. If using, sauté the diced onion and bell pepper until softened. If adding cooked chicken or beef, add it to the skillet and heat through. Remove from heat.

Assemble the quesadilla

Place one flour tortilla in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese on one half of the tortilla. Add the cooked filling mixture on top of the cheese, then sprinkle the remaining cheese over the filling. Fold the tortilla in half.

Cook the quesadilla

Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and the cheese is melting. Carefully flip the quesadilla and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side.

Serve

Once both sides are golden and crispy, remove from the skillet. Cut into wedges and serve with sour cream or salsa.
