1
Prepare the Workspace
Gather all the ingredients needed for making the cheese quesadilla. Ensure your workspace is clean and organized.
2
Mix the Cheeses
In a bowl, combine the cheddar cheese and Monterey Jack cheese. Mix them together until evenly combined.

3
Heat the Pan
Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Allow the oil to heat up for about 1-2 minutes.
4
Assemble the Quesadilla
Place one flour tortilla in the skillet. Evenly sprinkle half of the cheese mixture over the tortilla. If using, add jalapeños and cilantro. Top with the second tortilla.
5
Cook the Quesadilla
Cook for about 3-4 minutes or until the bottom tortilla is golden brown. Carefully flip the quesadilla using a spatula and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the other side is golden and the cheese is melted.
6
Serve
Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it cool for a minute. Cut into wedges and serve with sour cream and salsa on the side, if desired.
