Ingredients

Quesadillas:

4 flour tortilla, soft taco size
2-3 cups shredded cheese *Note 1
2 tbsp butter (optional for extra crispy crust)

Optional Toppings:

Guacamole, sour cream, salsa

Instructions

Quesadilla:

Pre-heat a griddle over medium heat.
Place the tortillas on a cutting board. Add 1/2-3/4 cup of cheese to one half of the tortilla, keeping the cheese 1/4" from the edge. Fold the tortilla in half so the round edges line up.
OPTIONAL: For a crispy crust, place 1/2 tbsp of butter to the griddle per quesadilla. Let it melt before continuing to the next step.
Transfer the quesadillas to the griddle. If using butter, cook for 2-3 minutes per side. If you're not using butter, cook for 3-4 minutes per side until the cheese is melted throughout. Remove from the heat and let sit for 2-3 minutes.
Slice the quesadillas in half and top with your favorite toppings.

Notes

Note 1. Plan on using 1/2 - 3/4 cup of cheese per quesadilla. My cheese recommendations include: Mexican cheese blend, Monterey jack, Colby, cheddar, gouda, pepper jack or Oaxaca.
