Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Gather all the ingredients and pre-shred the cheeses if not already shredded.

  2. 2

    Heat the Pan

    Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Quesadilla

    Place one tortilla in the skillet. Sprinkle half of the cheddar and half of the Monterey Jack cheese over the tortilla. Top with another tortilla.

  4. 4

    Cook the Quesadilla

    Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the bottom is golden brown. Flip carefully and cook the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes until golden and the cheese is melted.

  5. 5

    Slice and Serve

    Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it cool for a minute. Cut into wedges and serve with salsa or guacamole.
