Method

DRINKS

  1. 1

    Melt butter and prep pan

    Place a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon unsalted butter and cook until melted and bubbling, swirling to coat the bottom of the pan.

  2. 2

    Assemble first tortilla and cheese

    Lay one tortilla in the skillet. Evenly sprinkle 1 cup shredded cheese over the surface of the tortilla.

  3. 3

    Top with second tortilla

    Place the second tortilla on top of the cheese, forming a sandwich. Gently press to help the cheese begin melting.

  4. 4

    Cook until golden and melted

    Cook for 2-3 minutes on the first side, until the bottom tortilla is golden brown. Carefully flip the quesadilla and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the second side is golden and the cheese is fully melted.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Transfer to a cutting board, let rest for 1 minute, then cut into wedges. Serve immediately; optional accompaniments include salsa, sour cream, or guacamole.
