Ingredients
The first step in making quesadillas is to gather your ingredients. You’ll need some tortillas, cheese, and whatever fillings you’d like to include. Here’s a list of the ingredients you’ll need:
- Tortillas (corn or flour)
- Cheese (cheddar, Monterey jack, or queso blanco)
- Fillings (vegetables, meats, refried beans, etc.)
- Oil or butter (for cooking)
- Optional toppings (salsa, sour cream, guacamole, etc.)
Once you have all your ingredients, you’re ready to start assembling your quesadillas.
Assembling
To assemble your quesadillas, you’ll need two tortillas and one cup of cheese. Add your fillings to one tortilla and top with the other tortilla. Then, spread the cheese over the top of the tortilla.
Cooking
Once your quesadillas are assembled, it’s time to cook them. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a tablespoon of oil or butter to the skillet. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the quesadilla in the pan and cook for about 3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tortillas are golden brown. Flip the quesadilla and cook for an additional 3 minutes.
Serving
Once your quesadillas are cooked, it’s time to serve them. Slice the quesadilla into wedges and serve with your favorite toppings. We like to serve ours with salsa, sour cream, and guacamole.
Tips & Tricks
Here are a few tips and tricks to keep in mind when making quesadillas:
- Be sure to use enough oil or butter to keep the quesadillas from sticking to the pan.
- For a crispier quesadilla, use a higher heat setting and cook for longer.
- If you’re adding vegetables, be sure to pre-cook them before adding them to the quesadillas.
- If you’re adding meats, make sure they’re cooked through before adding them to the quesadillas.
- For a cheesy quesadilla, use a combination of cheeses.
