Cook the Quesadilla
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, carefully place the assembled quesadilla in the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and the cheese starts to melt. Carefully flip the quesadilla using a spatula and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side.

Once both sides are golden and crispy, remove the quesadilla from the skillet. Let it cool for a minute, then cut into wedges and serve immediately with additional pico de gallo or sour cream on the side.
