Ingredients

  • 4 large flour tortillas, (we prefer homemade or uncooked TortillaLand Tortillas)
  • 2 cups shredded cheese, Colby & Monterrey Jack cheese
  • butter

Instructions

  • Heat a large skillet on medium heat and cook tortillas until cooked and air pockets form and bubbles slightly brown. Remove tortillas from skillet and lower skillet to LOW heat.
  • Add butter to one side of 1 tortilla and add back to the skillet. Sprinkle with ½ cup cheese and any other ingredients desired. Add another tortilla that is buttered on one side and place that on top of cheese with the butter side up.
  • Cover the pan and let the cheese melt. After a minute or two the cheese should be melted and you can flip the quesadilla over. Cook an additional minute until both sides have been browned.
  • Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
  • Remove quesadillas from the skillet and cut into triangles with a pizza cutter. Serve with your favorite toppings and dips.
