Prepare the Tortilla

Begin by laying out a flour tortilla onto a clean surface. Ensure it's evenly spread and ready for the fillings.

Add the Filling

Sprinkle your desired amount of cheese (such as cheddar or Monterey Jack) evenly over one half of the tortilla. Feel free to add optional fillings such as cooked meat, beans, or vegetables for extra flavor and nutrition.

Cook the Quesadilla

Fold the tortilla in half, enclosing the fillings. Heat a small amount of oil or butter in a pan over medium heat and cook the quesadilla for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden and crispy. Ensure the cheese has melted and the fillings are heated through.

Serve

Cut the quesadilla into wedges and serve warm. Enjoy as a satisfying meal or a delicious snack.
