1
Prepare the Ingredients
Gather all the ingredients: tortillas, cheese, and any optional extras you wish to add.
2
Chop the Extras
If using, dice the bell peppers and chop the onions. Set aside.

3
Heat the Pan
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat.
4
Assemble the Quesadilla
Place one flour tortilla in the heated skillet. Sprinkle half of the cheddar and mozzarella cheese evenly over the tortilla. Add diced bell peppers, onions, and jalapeños on top if using. Then, place another tortilla on top.
5
Cook the Quesadilla
Cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is beginning to melt.
6
Flip the Quesadilla
Carefully flip the quesadilla using a spatula. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil around the edges of the skillet if needed. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the other side is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
7
Remove and Cut
Once cooked, remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it cool for a minute before cutting it into wedges.
