Quesadilla Ingredients
Method
Preparation Directions
- 1
Prepare the Ingredients
Gather all the ingredients and have them ready for cooking.
- 2
Heat the Pan
Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and let it warm up for about 2 minutes.
- 3
Butter the Tortillas
Spread 1 tablespoon of butter on one side of each tortilla. This will help them crisp up nicely.
- 4
Assemble the Quesadilla
Place one tortilla, buttered side down, in the hot skillet. Evenly sprinkle half of the cheddar cheese and half of the Monterey Jack cheese over the tortilla. Add salt and black pepper to taste.
- 5
Cook the First Side
Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese starts to melt and the bottom tortilla is golden brown.
- 6
Add the Second Tortilla
Carefully place the second tortilla on top of the melted cheese, buttered side up.
- 7
Flip the Quesadilla
After about 2-3 minutes, when the bottom tortilla is golden and crispy, use a spatula to flip the quesadilla over. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the second side is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
- 8
Remove and Slice
Once cooked, remove the quesadilla from the skillet. Let it cool for a minute, then slice it into wedges.
- 9
Serve
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces like salsa or sour cream.
