Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Flour tortillas
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup Crumbled queso fresco
- 4 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Optional: chopped fresh cilantro
- Optional: salsa or sour cream for serving
Instructions
Lay 2 flour tortillas flat on a clean surface.
Spread 2 tablespoons of cream cheese evenly over each tortilla.
In a medium bowl, combine shredded cheddar, shredded mozzarella, and crumbled queso fresco. Mix well.
Sprinkle an even layer of the cheese mixture over the cream cheese on each tortilla.
Optional: Sprinkle chopped fresh cilantro over the cheese for added flavor.
Top each loaded tortilla with another plain tortilla, pressing down gently to seal.
Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Carefully place one quesadilla in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until the tortilla is golden and crisp and the cheese is fully melted.
Remove the cooked quesadilla from the skillet and set aside. Repeat with the second quesadilla, adding the remaining tablespoon of butter to the skillet.
Transfer the cooked quesadillas to a cutting board, let them cool slightly, and then cut into wedges.
Serve warm with salsa or sour cream on the side for dipping.
