Preparation Steps
- 1
Preheat the Skillet
Place a large skillet over medium heat and allow it to warm up for about 2 minutes.
- 2
Prepare Tortillas
Lay out the flour tortillas on a clean surface. Take one tortilla and sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheddar cheese over half of it, followed by a layer of mozzarella cheese. Add a pinch of salt and ground black pepper to taste.

Fold and Cook
Fold the tortilla in half over the cheese. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the preheated skillet. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the folded tortilla in the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes or until the bottom is golden brown.

Flip the Quesadilla
Using a spatula, gently flip the quesadilla over and cook the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes until it is also golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Repeat for Remaining Quesadillas
Remove the cooked quesadilla from the skillet and place it on a cutting board. Let it cool for a minute before cutting it into wedges. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and cheese, adding more olive oil to the skillet as necessary.
