    Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheese evenly over the tortilla.

    Top it Off

    Place a second tortilla on top and press down gently.

    Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the bottom tortilla is golden brown. Carefully flip the quesadilla and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil if needed, cooking for another 3-4 minutes.
