Ingredients
- 2 pieces Flour tortillas
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 medium (sliced) Jalapeno pepper
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 0.25 cup (optional for serving) Sour cream
- 0.25 cup (optional for serving) Salsa
Directions
Step 1
Place one flour tortilla on a flat surface and evenly spread the shredded cheddar cheese over it.
Step 2
Scatter the sliced jalapeno evenly on top of the cheese layer.
Step 3
Place the second tortilla on top to create a quesadilla sandwich.
Step 4
Heat a non-stick skillet on medium heat and melt the butter, spreading it across the pan.
Step 5
Carefully place the quesadilla in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on one side, or until golden brown and the cheese begins to melt.
Step 6
Using a spatula, gently flip the quesadilla and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side until the tortilla is crispy and the cheese is fully melted.
Step 7
Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and place it on a cutting board. Allow it to cool for 1-2 minutes before slicing into quarters or eighths.
Step 8
Serve warm with optional sour cream and salsa on the side for dipping.
