Ingredients
• 4 large flour tortillas
• 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend)
• 1 cup cooked and seasoned chicken, beef, or sautéed vegetables
• ½ cup diced onions and bell peppers
• 2 tablespoons butter or olive oil
• Salsa, sour cream, or guacamole for serving
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and lightly coat it with butter or olive oil.
Place a tortilla in the skillet and sprinkle half of it with a generous layer of shredded cheese.
Add cooked chicken, beef, or sautéed vegetables along with diced onions and bell peppers for added flavor and crunch.
Fold the tortilla over to cover the filling. Press gently with a spatula to help the cheese melt evenly.
Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side until the tortilla is golden brown and crisp and the cheese inside is fully melted.
Remove from the skillet and allow to cool slightly before slicing into wedges.
The beauty of this recipe lies in its versatility. You can swap the protein for beans or add jalapeños for extra heat. Using a mix of cheeses creates that perfect stretchy texture every quesadilla lover craves. Serve with salsa, sour cream, or guacamole for dipping to elevate every bite.
These quesadillas deliver a delightful balance of crispy tortilla and melty filling, making them a timeless favorite for busy weeknights, game nights, or casual gatherings.
