  • Sprinkle half of the grated cheese evenly over the tortilla.
  • Place the second tortilla on top, creating a sandwich with the cheese in the middle.

Cook the Quesadilla:

  • Heat a large non-stick frying pan or skillet over medium heat and add the vegetable oil.
  • Once the oil is hot, carefully place the quesadilla in the pan.
  • Cook the quesadilla for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until it becomes golden brown and crispy. You may need to press it down gently with a spatula to help the cheese melt and the tortilla crisp up.

Slice and Serve:

  • Remove the quesadilla from the pan and place it on a cutting board.
  • Allow it to cool for a minute or two, then use a sharp knife or a pizza cutter to slice it into wedges or triangles.
  • Serve: Serve your cheese quesadilla hot with optional toppings like salsa, sour cream, guacamole, or sliced jalapeños on the side.
    Enjoy your delicious cheese quesadilla! You can customize it by adding other ingredients like sautéed vegetables, cooked chicken, or beans if you like.
