Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Gather all the ingredients and ensure the cheeses are shredded and ready for use.

  2. 2

    Heat the Pan

    In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

    Assemble the Quesadilla

    Place one tortilla in the skillet, sprinkle half of the cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese evenly over the tortilla. Season with salt and pepper.

    Add Second Tortilla

    Top with the second tortilla and press down gently.
