Ingredients

• 4 pieces Flour tortillas
• 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup Shredded Monterey Jack cheese
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 2 medium Tomatoes
• 1 small Red onion
• 2 tablespoons Cilantro
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice
• 1 small Jalapeño
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the salsa. Dice the tomatoes, red onion, and jalapeño into small pieces and place them in a mixing bowl.

Step 2

Finely chop the cilantro and add it to the bowl with the diced vegetables.

Step 3

Add the lime juice, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix well to combine all the ingredients. Set the salsa aside to let the flavors meld while you prepare the quesadillas.

Step 4

Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.

Step 5

Spread a small amount of butter on one side of a flour tortilla.

Step 6

Place the tortilla, buttered side down, in the skillet. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and 1/4 cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese evenly over the tortilla.

Step 7

Top with another tortilla and press gently. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until golden brown and the cheese begins to melt.

Step 8

Carefully flip the quesadilla using a spatula and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the second side is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.

Step 9

Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and cheese to make three more quesadillas.

Step 10

Remove the quesadillas from the skillet and let them cool for 1-2 minutes before cutting them into wedges.

Step 11

Serve the warm quesadilla wedges with the fresh salsa on the side.
