Ingredients
- 4 large Flour tortillas
- 8 slices Cooked ham
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 cups Sour cream (optional, for serving)
- 0.5 cups Salsa (optional, for serving)
Directions
Step 1
Place the flour tortillas on a flat surface.
Step 2
Sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over half of each tortilla.
Step 3
Layer 2 slices of cooked ham over the cheese on each tortilla.
Step 4
Sprinkle another 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top of the ham for each tortilla, then fold the other half of the tortilla over the filling to form a half-moon shape.
Step 5
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add 1/2 tablespoon of butter and let it melt, swirling to coat the cooking surface.
Step 6
Place one or two folded tortillas in the skillet (depending on the size of your skillet) and cook for 2-3 minutes on one side, or until golden brown and the cheese begins to melt.
Step 7
Flip the quesadilla carefully with a spatula and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side until golden brown and crisp.
Step 8
Remove the cooked quesadillas from the skillet and repeat with the remaining tortillas, adding more butter as needed.
Step 9
Slice each quesadilla into three wedges and serve warm with sour cream and salsa, if desired.
