Ingredients
- 6 pieces Flour tortillas (small, about 6 inches)
- 2 cups Shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend)
- 2 tablespoons Butter (optional, for cooking)
- 0.5 cups Salsa (optional, for serving)
- 0.5 cups Sour cream (optional, for serving)
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Step 2
If using butter, lightly spread a thin layer on one side of each tortilla to enhance flavor and crispiness.
Step 3
Place one tortilla in the hot skillet, buttered side down if butter is used, and sprinkle an even layer of shredded cheese (about 1/3 cup) over half of the tortilla.
Step 4
Fold the tortilla in half, pressing gently to seal the cheese inside.
Step 5
Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted. Adjust the heat if necessary to prevent burning.
Step 6
Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and repeat with the remaining tortillas and cheese.
Step 7
Once all the quesadillas are cooked, use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to slice each one into 3-4 mini wedges.
Step 8
Serve warm with salsa, sour cream, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro if desired.
