quesadilla recipe

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 medium onion, chopped
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
• 4 large flour tortillas
• 1/4 cup salsa (optional)

Instructions

1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
2. Add chopped onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
3. Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface.
4. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese and 1/4 cup of Monterey Jack cheese evenly over half of the tortilla.
5. Fold the tortilla in half, pressing gently to seal.
6. Cook in the hot skillet for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted and gooey.
7. If desired, top with salsa before folding.
8. Cut into wedges and serve immediately.

Notes

• For a crispier quesadilla, cook over medium-high heat.
• You can add other fillings like cooked chicken, black beans, or peppers.
• To prevent burning, use a non-stick skillet.
• Store leftover quesadillas in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
