Quick & Easy Quesadillas

Ingredients

• 1 large flour tortilla

• 1 cup shredded cheese (such as Monterey Jack, Cheddar, or a Mexican blend)

• 1/2 cup cooked protein (optional, e.g., shredded chicken, beef, or black beans)

• 1 tsp butter or neutral oil

• Toppings: Salsa, guacamole, or sour cream for dipping

Instructions

1. Prep the pan: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt the butter or lightly coat the pan with oil.

2. Add the tortilla: Place the flour tortilla flat in the skillet.

3. Layer the fillings: Sprinkle your shredded cheese evenly over one half of the tortilla. Add your optional protein or beans on top of the cheese layer.

4. Fold it over: Fold the empty half of the tortilla over the filling to create a half-moon shape, pressing down gently with a spatula.

5. Cook until crispy: Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the bottom is golden-brown and crispy. Carefully flip it over and cook for another 2 minutes until the other side is crisp and the cheese is fully melted.

6. Slice and serve: Transfer to a cutting board, slice into three triangles, and serve hot with your favorite dips.
