Method

Quesadilla Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tortillas

    Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Spread butter on one side of each flour tortilla.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Quesadilla

    Place one tortilla, butter-side down, in the skillet. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese evenly over the tortilla.

  3. 3

    Cook and Flip

    Top with the second tortilla, butter-side up. Cook for about 2-3 minutes or until the bottom tortilla is golden brown. Carefully flip the quesadilla using a spatula and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and the other side is golden brown.

  4. 4

    Slice and Serve

    Remove the quesadilla from the skillet, let it cool for a minute, then cut into wedges.

    In a medium bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, chopped onion, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and salt.

  2. 6
