Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 5 large flour tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded cheese Cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend
Optional Fillings
  • 1 cup cooked chicken shredded or diced
  • 1/2 cup black beans rinsed and drained
  • 1/2 cup corn kernels
  • 1/4 cup diced bell pepper
  • salsa for serving
  • sour cream for serving
  • guacamole for serving

Equipment

  • large skillet or griddle
  • spatula

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Gather all your ingredients and prepare any optional fillings by cooking and dicing them as needed.
  2. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Assembly and Cooking
  1. Place one tortilla in the hot skillet, sprinkle half of one side with cheese, and add desired fillings.
  2. Fold the other half of the tortilla over the filling, creating a half-moon shape.
  3. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  4. Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and repeat with the remaining tortillas and fillings.
Serving
  1. Slice each quesadilla into wedges and serve immediately with salsa, sour cream, or guacamole if desired.

Notes

For extra crispiness, you can lightly brush the tortillas with oil or butter before cooking. Adjust the amount of cheese and fillings to your preference. Don't overcrowd the skillet; cook quesadillas one or two at a time depending on the size of your pan.
