Cheese Quesadilla Recipe Ready to Eat

Cheese Quesadilla Recipe

Perfectly cooked, crisp on the outside, gooey with cheese on the inside, these make the perfect snack or light lunch!

  • Total Time: 16 minutes
  • Yield: Servings are variable

Ingredients

For the quesadillas:

  • Soft flour tortillas
  • Freshly grated cheese (medium cheddar, Jack cheese, etc.)
  • Finely chopped scallions
  • Softened butter

To serve: (optional)

  • Tomato salsa
  • Dairy sour cream
  • Guacamole
  • Re-fried beans

Instructions

    1. You will need a large heavy based skillet for this recipe. Begin by grating your cheese(s). I find a combination of cheeses give the best flavour. For each quesadilla use a generous amount of your preferred cheese(s).
    2. Trim, wash and finely chop your spring onions.
    3. Butter your tortillas on one side with softened butter.
    4. Place a tortilla, buttered side down in the skillet. Top with the grated cheese, sprinkling it all the way to the edges of the tortilla. I tend to put more on the outer edge than in the centre.
    5. Sprinkle with the chopped scallions and then place a second buttered tortilla on top, buttered side up.
    6. Heat the skillet over medium to medium high heat. When it has turned golden brown on the bottom side, carefully flip it over to brown the top side.
    7. Scoop out onto a cutting board and cut into wedges. The number of wedges you get will depend on the size of your quesadillas.
    8. For a street taco size you will get about 4 per quesadilla. Larger tortillas will give you more and larger quesadillas.

Notes

Serve hot with your favourite dips.
