Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Large flour tortillas
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Cooked chicken (shredded or diced, optional)
- 0.5 cup Bell peppers (diced, optional)
- 0.5 cup Onion (diced, optional)
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 cup Salsa (for serving, optional)
- 0.5 cup Sour cream (for serving, optional)
- 0.5 cup Guacamole (for serving, optional)
Instructions
Place all ingredients on the counter and prepare any optional toppings, such as dicing bell peppers or onions and shredding cooked chicken if using.
Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Spread about 1/2 tablespoon of butter on one side of a tortilla and place it butter-side down onto the skillet.
Sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the tortilla.
If desired, add shredded chicken, diced bell peppers, and diced onion over the cheese layer.
Place another tortilla on top and spread 1/2 tablespoon of butter on its outer side.
Cook the quesadilla for 2-3 minutes, gently pressing down with a spatula, until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt.
Carefully flip the quesadilla and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes, checking to ensure it doesn't burn.
Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and place it on a cutting board. Let it cool for 1 minute before slicing into wedges.
Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and fillings.
Serve warm with salsa, sour cream, and guacamole on the side for dipping.
