In less than 10 minutes, you can prepare cheese quesadillas for a quick, satisfying and delicious snack, lunch or dinner. Start with burrito size flour tortillas and fill them with freshly shredded cheese. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
3 T. butter
6 large flour tortillas, 10" burrito size*
6 c. freshly shredded cheese, divided (Monterey Jack, Cheddar, Mozzarella, Pepper Jack, or Chihuahua)**
For serving, guacamole, sour cream, Ranch dressing, Pico de Gallo or salsa, if desired.
Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Layer one half of each tortilla with 1 c. shredded cheese; fold it over.
Cook each quesadilla in the skillet for 1 - 2 minutes per side until the cheese has fully melted and they are golden brown.
Slice into triangles with a pizza cutter or knife.
Serve with guacamole, sour cream, Ranch dressing, Pico de Gallo or salsa, if desired.
6 servings.
* You could use corn or almond flour tortillas, if desired.
** Store bought pre-shredded cheeses don't melt well because they are made with an anti-caking agent, so it's best to buy a block of cheese and shred it yourself.
