Ingredients of Cheese Quesadillas
4 large flour tortillas
2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend)
1 tablespoon butter
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
Salsa, sour cream, and guacamole for serving
Instructions for making Cheese Quesadillas:
Prepare the Filling:
Start by shredding your choice of cheese. You can use cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend for a perfect mix of flavors. Set the cheese aside.
Heat the Tortilla:
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt a small piece of butter. Once the butter is melted and bubbling, place one tortilla flat in the skillet.
Add the Cheese:
Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheese evenly over one half of the tortilla. If you like, add a sprinkle of fresh cilantro for an extra burst of flavor.
Fold and Cook:
Carefully fold the tortilla in half to cover the cheese. Press down gently with a spatula to seal it. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
Repeat:
Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and cheese.
Serve:
Cut each quesadilla into wedges and serve hot with your favorite sides like salsa, sour cream, and guacamole.
Tip: For a variation, you can add sliced jalapenos, cooked chicken, or sauteed vegetables to the cheese before folding the tortilla.
