FOLDED QUESADILLAS

1 count Large flour tortilla
1 1/2 cups Shredded cheese (cheddar-Monterey Jack blend)
1 tbs Unsalted butter

Method

FOLDED QUESADILLAS

1
Preheat skillet
Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
2
Assemble cheese on tortilla
Place the tortilla in the skillet. Evenly sprinkle 1.5 cups shredded cheese over half of the tortilla, leaving a border so the cheese can seal when folded.
3
Fold quesadilla
Fold the tortilla in half to enclose the cheese, forming a half-moon quesadilla.
4
Butter exterior
Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a small pan or the same skillet and brush the outside of the folded quesadilla with the melted butter.
5
Cook until melted
Cook 2-3 minutes per side, pressing lightly, until the outside is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
6
Rest and serve
Transfer to a cutting board, let rest 1-2 minutes, slice into wedges, and serve immediately.
