These cheesy quesadillas are a quick and easy snack or meal, perfect for any time of day. They are made with gooey melted cheese and can be customized with your favorite fillings like vegetables, meats, or beans.
Ingredients
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend)
- 1/2 cup cooked chicken, beef, or black beans (optional)
- 1/4 cup diced bell peppers (optional)
- 1/4 cup diced onions (optional)
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
- Sour cream, salsa, and guacamole for serving
Instructions:
- Prepare Ingredients: If using additional fillings like chicken, beef, or vegetables, have them cooked and ready.
- Heat a Skillet: Preheat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- Assemble the Quesadillas: Place a tortilla on the skillet and sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheese evenly over half of the tortilla. Add any desired fillings like chicken, bell peppers, onions, or beans on top of the cheese. Sprinkle a bit of cilantro for added flavor.
- Cook and Fold: Once the cheese starts to melt, fold the tortilla in half over the filling. Press gently with a spatula to ensure everything sticks together.
- Cook Until Golden and Crispy: Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is fully melted.
- Serve: Remove from the skillet and let cool slightly. Cut into wedges and serve with sour cream, salsa, and guacamole on the side.
