- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- 0.5 cup sour cream

Instructions
Preheat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Spread 1/2 tablespoon of butter on one side of each tortilla.
Place a tortilla, buttered side down, in the preheated skillet.
Sprinkle 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and 1/4 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the tortilla.
Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh cilantro over the cheese.
Top with another tortilla, buttered side up.
Cook for 3-4 minutes or until the bottom tortilla is golden and the cheese begins to melt.
Carefully flip the quesadilla and continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes until both sides are golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
