Crispy Cheesy Tortilla Quesadilla

Ingredients

• 1 Flour tortilla (Medium or large size)
• 0.5 cup Shredded cheese (Mexican blend, cheddar, or Monterey Jack)
• 1 tbsp Butter (For pan frying)

Steps

1. 1

   Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter, allowing it to melt and coat the bottom of the pan.

2. 2

   Place the flour tortilla into the skillet, swirling it slightly to ensure the bottom is coated in butter.

3. 3

   Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over one half of the tortilla.

4. 4

   Once the cheese begins to melt slightly, fold the empty half of the tortilla over the cheese-covered half to create a half-moon shape.

5. 5

   Cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.

6. 6

   Carefully flip the quesadilla and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes until equally crispy and the cheese is fully melted.

7. 7

   Remove from the pan, let rest for one minute, then slice into wedges and serve.

Notes

You can add cooked proteins like shredded chicken or black beans before folding for a more filling meal.
