Quesadilla Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare Ingredients

    Start by dicing the tomatoes and slicing the jalapenos. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Assemble Quesadillas

    On one half of each flour tortilla, sprinkle a generous amount of cheddar-jack cheese, followed by the diced tomatoes and sliced jalapenos. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper to taste.

  3. 3

    Cook Quesadillas

    Fold the tortilla in half over the filling. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the folded quesadilla in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove from skillet and let cool for a minute. Cut into wedges and serve warm.
