1
Gather and Prepare Ingredients
Gather all the ingredients required for the cheese quesadilla. Make sure you have shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese ready. If using, have olive oil or butter melted.

2
Heat the Pan
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. If using olive oil or butter, add it to the skillet and let it melt.
3
Assemble the Quesadilla
Place one tortilla in the skillet. Evenly spread 1 cup of cheddar cheese and 1/2 cup of Monterey Jack cheese over the tortilla. Top with another tortilla.
4
Cook the Quesadilla
Cook for about 3-4 minutes or until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt. Carefully flip the quesadilla using a spatula.
5
Finish Cooking
Cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes until golden and crispy. Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it cool for a minute before cutting.

6
Slice and Serve
Cut the quesadilla into wedges. Serve warm with salsa, sour cream, and chopped cilantro on the side, if desired.
