Cheese Quesadilla Recipe

Cheese Quesadilla Recipe A cheese quesadilla is the ultimate quick and comforting snack or meal. With its golden, crispy tortilla and gooey melted cheese, this Mexican-inspired dish is as simple as it is delicious. Perfect for a snack, lunch, or dinner, this recipe is sure to be a family favorite. Ingredients 2 large flour tortillas 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a Mexican blend) 1 tablespoon butter or oil for cooking Optional toppings: sour cream, salsa, guacamole, or jalapeños Instructions Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat it with butter or oil. Place one tortilla in the skillet and evenly spread the shredded cheese over the top. Cover with the second tortilla and cook for 2–3 minutes until the bottom is golden and crisp. Flip the quesadilla carefully and cook the other side for another 2–3 minutes until the cheese is melted. Transfer to a cutting board, let cool slightly, and slice into wedges. Serve with your favorite toppings. Cooking Tips Use the Right Cheese: Opt for cheese that melts well, such as Monterey Jack, mozzarella, or a Mexican blend, for that irresistible gooey texture. Keep the Heat Moderate: Cooking over medium heat ensures a crispy tortilla without burning it. Add Extras: For a heartier quesadilla, include fillings like cooked chicken, sautéed veggies, or beans before adding cheese. Flip Carefully: Use a wide spatula to flip the quesadilla to avoid spilling the fillings.
