Choose the Right Tortilla – Opt for flour tortillas for a soft, pliable base. Corn tortillas are great for a crispy bite.
Pick Your Cheese – Use a melting cheese like cheddar, Monterey Jack, or Oaxaca cheese for that gooey, delicious center.
Add Protein or Veggies – Add cooked chicken, beef, shrimp, or sautéed vegetables like peppers, onions, and mushrooms for extra flavor.
Season Well – Season your filling with salt, pepper, cumin, garlic powder, or a dash of chili powder for a tasty kick.
Heat the Pan – Use a skillet or griddle on medium heat with a light coating of butter or oil to prevent sticking.
Assemble and Cook – Place the tortilla in the pan, add cheese and your fillings, then top with another tortilla. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
Slice & Serve – Cut your quesadilla into wedges and serve with sides like salsa, guacamole, or sour cream for dipping.
