Ingredients

  • 4 medium flour tortillas
  • 1 cup taco dip or filling of choice, divided see notes
  • 1 cup shredded cheese divided such as monterey jack, cheddar, or colby
  • 1 tbsp olive oil optional and divided, see notes

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Prepare your quesadillas: Onto each tortilla spread about 2 tablespoons of taco dip or filling of choice, then sprinkle over 2 tablespoons of shredded cheese and fold each tortilla in half.
  2. Heat 1 tsp of olive in a skillet over medium high heat. (While the oil is completely optional in this recipe, we highly recommend it for the perfect crispiness of your quesadillas!)
  3. Once skillet is hot, place a folded tortilla into the skillet using a spatula to press down on it. Cook about 2-3 minutes and flip; cooking an additional 2 minutes on the other side.
  4. Transfer the quesadilla onto a cutting board; cut into wedges and serve with your choice of toppings.

Notes

  • taco dip – Use homemade or store-bought. I used store-bought taco dip from Costco for the ease. If you do not have taco dip available, simply mix together 1 cup sour cream with 2 tbsp taco seasoning (adjust to taste) for this recipe. NOTE: The taco dip is a filling. You can replace it with leftover cooked veggies, protein of choice, beans, corn, rice or grains.
  • olive oil - Completely optional but definitely makes the difference in your quesadilla crispiness!
