Ingredients

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

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
  5. Remove quesadillas from the skillet and cut into triangles with a pizza cutter. Serve with your favorite toppings and dips.
