Ingredients
- 4 large Gluten-Free Tortillas
- 2 cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese
- 1 cup Shredded Monterey Jack Cheese
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 teaspoons Olive Oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine the shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses.
Step 3
Mix in the salt and pepper with the cheese.
Step 4
Place a large gluten-free tortilla on a clean surface, and sprinkle about 3/4 cup of the cheese mixture evenly over one half of the tortilla.
Step 5
Fold the tortilla in half to enclose the cheese.
Step 6
Add 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 teaspoon of olive oil to the preheated skillet and let them melt together.

Carefully place the folded tortilla into the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the underside is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt.
Step 8
Using a spatula, flip the quesadilla and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the second side is golden and the cheese is fully melted.
Step 9
Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it cool slightly before cutting it into three wedges.
Step 10
Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas, cheese, butter, and olive oil.
Step 11
Serve the quesadillas warm with your choice of salsa or guacamole.
