Gather Ingredients
Collect all the ingredients required for the quesadilla including tortillas, cheeses, and any optional toppings you wish to use.

Heat the Pan
Place a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat. If you prefer a crispier quesadilla, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the pan and let it heat up.

Assemble the Quesadilla
Take one flour tortilla and spread 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and ½ cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese evenly over half of the tortilla. Fold the other half of the tortilla over the cheese.

Cook the Quesadilla
Carefully place the folded quesadilla in the heated pan. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side until the cheese starts to melt and the tortilla is golden brown. Flip the quesadilla and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side.
