1

Gather Your Ingredients

First things first, let's make sure we have everything we need. Grab tortillas, shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a mix), cooked chicken or beef, sliced vegetables (bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, or whatever you fancy), and some optional extras like salsa, guacamole, or sour cream. Now you're ready!

2

Heat Things Up

It's time to fire up the stove! Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. If you want a crispier quesadilla, you can brush some melted butter or oil on one side of each tortilla.

3

Layer the Goodness

Take one tortilla and place it on the heated skillet. Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheese evenly on top. Next, add your protein (chicken or beef) and any sliced vegetables you desire. If you're feeling adventurous, toss in some optional extras like salsa or guacamole.

Cover and Cook

Now, place a second tortilla on top to complete the quesadilla. Press down gently with a spatula. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, until the bottom tortilla turns golden brown and crispy.

5

Flip and Finish

It's time for the grand flip! Carefully flip the quesadilla over using a spatula. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and both sides are nicely browned.

6

Slice and Serve

Remove the quesadilla from the pan and let it cool for a minute or two. Cut it into wedges using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter. Serve it hot with your favorite dipping sauces like salsa, guacamole, or sour cream. Get ready to enter cheesy heaven!
