Quesadilla Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. If using steak or chicken, season with salt and pepper and cook until fully cooked. For pork, ensure it is heated through. Remove from heat and set aside.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Quesadilla

    Place a tortilla in the skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese evenly over the tortilla. Layer your choice of meat on top of the cheese, then sprinkle the remaining cheese over the meat. Place a second tortilla on top.

  3. 3

    Cook the Quesadilla

    Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until the bottom tortilla is golden brown. Carefully flip the quesadilla using a spatula and cook the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until golden and the cheese has melted.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove from the skillet and let cool for a minute before cutting into wedges. Serve with rice, sour cream, and guacamole on the side.
