Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Flour tortillas
- 1 cup Manchego cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Hot sauce or salsa (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Place the tortillas on a flat surface. Evenly distribute the shredded Manchego cheese over two of the tortillas, leaving about 1/2 inch from the edges.
Sprinkle chopped cilantro over the cheese if desired.
Top each cheese-covered tortilla with another tortilla to form a sandwich.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Swirl the butter around to coat the pan evenly.
Carefully place one quesadilla in the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and crispy.
Using a spatula, flip the quesadilla and cook for another 2-3 minutes, pressing gently with the spatula to ensure even browning and melting of the cheese.
Transfer the cooked quesadilla to a cutting board and repeat the process with the second quesadilla, adding the remaining tablespoon of butter to the pan as needed.
Allow the quesadillas to cool for 1 minute before slicing them into quarters or halves.
Serve hot with your choice of hot sauce or salsa on the side for dipping.
