1
Prepare the Pan
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add butter or oil and allow it to melt, coating the surface evenly.
2
Assemble the Quesadilla
Place one tortilla in the heated skillet. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese evenly over the tortilla. Place the second tortilla on top of the cheese.
3
Cook the Quesadilla
Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt. Carefully flip the quesadilla using a spatula.
4
Finish Cooking
Cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes until it is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
5
Serve
Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it cool for a minute before slicing it into wedges. Serve with optional toppings such as sour cream, salsa, or guacamole.
