Ingredients

• 4 pieces Flour tortillas
• 4 stalks Scallions (green onions), thinly sliced
• 1 cup Shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend)
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cup Sour cream (optional, for serving)
• 0.5 cup Salsa (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Place the tortillas on a clean surface and divide the shredded cheese evenly between two tortillas, sprinkling it across only one half of each tortilla.

Step 2

Top the cheese with an even layer of sliced scallions and a pinch of salt.

Step 3

Fold each tortilla in half to cover the filling, forming a semicircle.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Allow the butter to melt completely, coating the bottom of the pan.

Step 5

Place one folded tortilla in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on one side, or until golden brown and crisp. Carefully flip it using a spatula and cook the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes. Remove and set aside.

Step 6

Repeat with the second tortilla, adding the remaining butter to the skillet as needed.

Step 7

Slice the cooked quesadillas into wedges and serve warm with sour cream and salsa on the side, if desired.
