Ingredients

Main ingredients

2 teaspoons unsalted butter or olive oil
2 10-inch flour tortillas
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
Guacamole for serving

Instructions

Heat the butter or olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Add one tortilla to the pan and scatter the cheddar cheese in an even layer all over the tortilla. Place the second tortilla on top of the cheese.
Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the bottom of the tortilla starts to become golden brown.
Carefully flip the tortilla and cook on the other side for 2-3 minutes or until the bottom of the tortilla becomes golden brown.
Remove the quesadilla from the pan and place on a cutting board.
Use a knife or pizza cutter to cut the quesadilla into 6 triangles. Serve with guacamole or your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

Watch the butter! Butter burns very quickly so keep an eye on it. Add your tortillas when it’s just melted. Leftover quesadillas can be stored in an airtight container for up to 5 days in the fridge. Gently reheat in a frying pan over medium-low heat until warmed through. To freeze, tightly wrap in foil or plastic wrap and place in a freezer-safe zip-top bag. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat when ready to eat.
