Quesadilla

Method

Cooking the Quesadilla

  1. 1

    Prepare the Quesadilla

    Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt the butter. Place one tortilla in the skillet, sprinkle half of the aged cheddar cheese evenly over the tortilla, and then top with the second tortilla. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the bottom tortilla is golden brown.

  2. 2

    Flip and Melt

    Carefully flip the quesadilla over and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the second side is golden and the cheese is melted. Remove from the skillet and let it cool slightly before cutting.

Preparing the Sides

  1. 3

    Heat the Frijoles

    In a small pot, heat the frijoles over low heat until warmed through.

  2. 4

    Prepare the Veggies

    Wash and chop the lettuce and tomatoes into small pieces. If using, slice the chile.
