Ingredients

• 2 pieces Flour tortillas
• 1 cup Shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend)
• 1 tablespoon Butter or cooking oil
• 0.5 cup Cooked chicken, shredded (optional)
• 0.25 cup Sliced bell peppers (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Sliced jalapeños (optional)
• 0.25 cup Sour cream (for serving)
• 0.25 cup Salsa (for serving)
• 0.25 cup Guacamole (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the butter or cooking oil to the skillet and let it melt or heat up until shimmering.

Step 3

Place one tortilla in the skillet and sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded cheese evenly over the surface.

Step 4

If using additional fillings like chicken, bell peppers, or jalapeños, evenly distribute them over the cheese layer.

Step 5

Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese on top of the fillings, then place the second tortilla over the top, pressing it down gently.

Step 6

Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and crispy. Use a spatula to carefully flip the quesadilla.

Step 7

Cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes, until the second tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.

Step 8

Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and transfer it to a cutting board. Let it rest for 1-2 minutes before slicing it into wedges.

Step 9

Serve warm with sour cream, salsa, and guacamole on the side for dipping.
