1
Gather Ingredients
Collect all the ingredients needed for the quesadilla including the tortillas, cheeses, and any optional toppings or sauces.
2
Heat Cooking Surface
Place a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and allow it to warm up for about 2-3 minutes.

3
Assemble Quesadilla
Lay one flour tortilla in the skillet. Evenly sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and 0.5 cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese over half of the tortilla.
4
Fold and Cook
Fold the tortilla in half, covering the cheese. If using, brush the top with olive oil. Cook for about 2-3 minutes or until the bottom is golden brown.
5
Flip Quesadilla
Carefully flip the quesadilla using a spatula. Cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
6
Remove and Slice
Once cooked, remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it sit for a minute. Slice into wedges using a pizza cutter.

7
Plate the Quesadilla
Serve the quesadilla warm on a plate with optional sides of sour cream, salsa, chopped cilantro, and sliced jalapeños.
