Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Flour tortillas
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
- 0.5 cup Sour cream (optional, for serving)
- 0.5 cup Salsa (optional, for serving)
Instructions
1. Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
2. Spread 1/2 tablespoon of butter evenly on one side of each tortilla.
3. Place one tortilla butter-side down in the skillet. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese and 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese evenly over the tortilla.
4. Place another tortilla on top, butter-side up, creating a sandwich.
5. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and crispy. Use a spatula to carefully flip the quesadilla.
6. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side, until golden brown and the cheese has melted completely.
7. Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and set it aside on a cutting board. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and cheese.
8. Let the quesadillas cool for 1-2 minutes before slicing them into quarters or eighths.
9. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired, and serve with sour cream and salsa on the side.
