Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Flour tortillas
- 2 cups Shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a mix)
- 1 cup Cooked chicken, diced (optional)
- 0.5 cup Bell pepper, diced (optional)
- 0.25 cup Onion, finely chopped (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil or butter
- 0.5 cup Salsa (optional, for serving)
- 0.5 cup Sour cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Warm a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Brush one side of each tortilla lightly with olive oil or melted butter.
Place one tortilla on the hot skillet, oiled side down.
Evenly sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded cheese over half the tortilla. If using, add a layer of cooked chicken, diced bell peppers, and onions on top of the cheese.
Fold the tortilla in half to cover the filling.
Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until golden brown and crispy, then carefully flip with a spatula. Cook the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is golden.
Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and place it on a cutting board. Repeat the process for the remaining tortillas and fillings.
Slice each quesadilla into wedges and serve warm with salsa and sour cream on the side, if desired.
