Most Ordered

  1. 1

    Gather ingredients: 2 large flour tortillas, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1 tablespoon unsalted butter.

  2. 2

    Melt the butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat, swirling to coat the bottom completely.

  3. 3

    Place one tortilla in the skillet. Evenly sprinkle 1 cup cheddar cheese on top of the tortilla, then cover with the second tortilla to form a sandwich.

  4. 4

    Cook until the bottom tortilla is golden and the cheese begins to melt, about 2-3 minutes.

  5. 5

    Carefully flip the quesadilla and cook the other side until golden and the cheese is fully melted, about 2 minutes more.

  6. 6

    Transfer to a cutting board, let rest 1 minute, then slice into 4 wedges and serve warm.
