Quesadillas are a delicious and quick meal that can be enjoyed as a snack or a main dish. This simple recipe features melted cheddar cheese sandwiched between a crispy tortilla, making it an easy and satisfying option for any time of the day.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat.
- Lightly coat the skillet with a short spray of cooking spray oil.
- Place the tortilla flat on a clean working surface or directly in the skillet if you prefer.
- Evenly distribute the shredded cheddar cheese over one half of the tortilla.
- Fold the tortilla in half, covering the cheese to form a half-moon shape.
- Place the folded tortilla in the preheated skillet if not already there.
- Cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side or until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy.
- Carefully flip the quesadilla using a spatula and grill the other side for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown and the cheese inside has melted.
- Once both sides are golden brown and the cheese is melted, remove the quesadilla from the skillet.
- Place the quesadilla on a cutting board and let it cool for a minute.
- Cut the quesadilla into wedges or desired shapes using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
- Serve with your favorite sides, such as salsa, sour cream, or guacamole for a delightful experience.
Tips:
- Use a non-stick skillet to ensure the tortilla doesn't stick to the pan.
- Preheat the skillet over medium heat to get a nice, even crisp on the tortilla.
- Add a small amount of oil or butter to the pan for extra flavor and to help the tortilla get crispy.
- Keep an eye on the quesadilla while it’s cooking to prevent burning.
- If you like your quesadilla extra cheesy, be generous with the cheddar cheese.
- For additional flavor, consider adding ingredients like sliced jalapeños, diced tomatoes, or cooked chicken before folding the tortilla.
In just a few minutes, you can have a delectable cheddar cheese quesadilla that’s perfect for any occasion. Serve it with your favorite toppings or dips, and enjoy this delicious and cheesy treat!
