1
Prepare the Pico de Gallo
If you haven't made Pico de Gallo yet, mix diced tomatoes, onions, cilantro, jalapeños, lime juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Set aside.
2
Heat the Pan
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
3
Assemble the Quesadilla
Place one tortilla in the skillet. Sprinkle half of the cheddar cheese evenly over the tortilla. Add a generous amount of Pico de Gallo on top, then sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese. Place another tortilla on top.
4
Cook the Quesadilla
Cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the bottom tortilla is golden brown. Carefully flip the quesadilla, adding the remaining olive oil to the pan if necessary, and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the other side is golden brown and the cheese has melted.
5
Slice and Serve
Remove the quesadilla from the pan and let it cool for a minute. Slice into wedges and serve with additional Pico de Gallo on the side.
