To make a quesadilla, you typically start with a tortilla, add cheese and desired fillings on one half, then fold the tortilla over. Cook it in a skillet over medium heat until the tortilla is golden and crispy and the cheese is melted, flipping once to cook both sides evenly. Slice and serve with toppings like salsa, guacamole, or sour cream. Here is a simple step-by- step guide based on common recipes:
- Heat a skillet over medium heat.
- Place a tortilla in the skillet and sprinkle cheese over half of it.
- Add fillings like cooked beans, vegetables, or cooked meat over the cheese.
- Sprinkle a bit more cheese on top of fillings for better sealing.
- Fold the tortilla in half to cover the fillings.
- Cook until the bottom is golden and crispy, about 1-2 minutes.
- Flip and cook the other side until crispy and cheese is melted.
- Remove from heat, let it cool slightly, then cut into wedges.
- Serve with options like salsa, guacamole, sour cream, or hot sauce.
Fillings can be customized with ingredients like bell peppers, onions, chicken, or beans depending on preference.
