Cheese Quesadilla

Ah, the quesadilla.  All that gooey cheese.  No wonder it’s such a popular food, especially in the South-West.

With all that melted cheese, it makes for a perfect comfort food any time of the day.

Quesadilla as a Fast Food

The Quesadilla is a quick and easy food you can make for yourself and your family is almost no time at all.

You can make a simple cheese quesadilla in as little as 5 minutes.

The Quesadilla is a Versatile Food

Quesadillas are one of the most versatile foods.  Depending of what kind of Quesadilla you make, it can make a filling main course or great side dish.

While today’s recipe is for a classic Cheese Quesadilla, you can do almost anything with a quesadilla.

You can make a Breakfast Quesadilla with scrambled eggs, cheese, grilled onions, bell peppers, and tomatoes.  This is the kind of breakfast you’ll want any time of day or night.

The Chicken Quesadilla is a classic choice.  But, if you crave something spicy, you can make a Spicy Chicken Quesadilla by adding some diced jalapeños and spicy cheese.

If you want a quesadilla that is more filling, I suggest making a Steak Quesadilla.  If you want seafood, a Shrimp Quesadilla is a great choice.  You can even make a Cheeseburger Quesadilla for a satisfying Cal-Mex or Tex-Mex dinner.

If you have a sweet tooth, why not make one with Nutella, chocolate, and cinnamon-sugar.

The options are endless.

How to Make a Basic Cheese Quesadilla:

This recipe is for one delicious quesadilla.  However, you can easily multiply the recipe by as many people as you need to feed.

• In a large pan, heat the oil and butter on medium heat.  Add one of your tortillas.

• Pile on the cheese.  Make sure you have enough cheese to get close to the edges of the tortilla.  The cheese will act as the glue to keep you quesadilla together.  If you like cheese as much as I do, you can add a little extra.  So, more cheese please!

• Top the cheese with another tortilla.  At this point, check to see if the bottom half has crisped up to your liking.  If it has, the quesadilla is ready to flip over.  Using a large spatula, flip the quesadilla over.  Cook the bottom part until the desired crispness, and you are almost ready to serve.

• Transfer the quesadilla to a wooden cutting board.

• Slice the quesadilla into sections.

Serve with sour cream and guacamole.
