Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp butter
- 2 tortillas
- ⅔ cup shredded cheese (such as cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a Mexican blend)
Instructions
- Heat butter: Add half of the butter to a skillet over medium heat. Allow it to melt completely to prevent sticking and add flavor.
- Place first tortilla: Once the butter is melted, place one tortilla flat in the skillet to form the base of your quesadilla.
- Add cheese layer: Evenly arrange the shredded cheese over the tortilla, ensuring good coverage for a perfect melt.
- Top with second tortilla: Place the second tortilla on top of the cheese, creating a sandwich.
- Cook first side: Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt.
- Flip and add more butter: Carefully flip the quesadilla over. Add the remaining butter to the skillet if needed to help crisp up the other side.
- Cook second side: Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until the cheese is fully melted and the second tortilla is golden and crisp.
- Serve: Remove the quesadilla from the skillet. Use a pizza cutter to slice into wedges and serve hot.
Notes
- Use any type of shredded cheese you prefer for different flavors.
- For extra crunch, add a little more butter when flipping the quesadilla.
- Be careful when flipping to avoid spilling the cheese.
- Serve with salsa, sour cream, or guacamole for added flavor.
- Can be customized by adding cooked chicken, vegetables, or beans inside.
