Method
- Heat the butter or olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add one tortilla to the pan and scatter the cheddar cheese in an even layer all over the tortilla. Place the second tortilla on top of the cheese.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the bottom of the tortilla starts to become golden brown. Carefully flip the tortilla and cook on the other side for 2-3 minutes or until the bottom of the tortilla becomes golden brown.
- Remove the quesadilla from the pan and place on a cutting board. Use a knife or pizza cutter to cut the quesadilla into 6 triangles. Serve with guacamole or your favorite dipping sauce.
💡 Tips
- Use a non-stick skillet to make flipping easier and prevent sticking.
- If you prefer extra crispy quesadillas, cook a little longer on each side, but watch carefully to avoid burning.
- Serve immediately for the best melt and crispiness.
