Assemble Quesadillas
On a clean surface, lay out one flour tortilla. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded cheese evenly over half of the tortilla. Add a sprinkle of chopped cilantro and jalapeño slices if using. Fold the tortilla in half to cover the cheese.

Cook the Quesadillas
Carefully place the folded quesadilla in the heated skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side until golden brown and the cheese begins to melt. Flip the quesadilla gently and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side.
