Quesadilla Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Gather all the ingredients and, if using, shred the cooked chicken.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Quesadilla

    Lay one tortilla flat, sprinkle half of the cheddar and mozzarella cheese on one half of the tortilla. If using chicken, add a layer of shredded chicken on top of the cheese. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the chicken and fold the tortilla in half.

  3. 3

    Cook the Quesadilla

    In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Place the folded quesadilla in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes until the bottom is golden and crispy. Carefully flip the quesadilla and add the remaining olive oil if needed, cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes until the other side is golden and the cheese is melted.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it cool for a minute before slicing it into wedges. Serve hot with shoe string fries on the side.
