How to Make a Cheese Quesadilla

5 / 5 (1 reviews)

Ok this is the BEST cheese quesadilla ever! We make this cheese quesadilla on the stove cooked in some butter (gets the torilla nice and golden brown and creates the crispy exterior we all love), then add your favorite cheese blend and cook until melted and golden brown. Top it with all the fixings: avocado, lettuce, salsa, guacamole, pico de gallo, sour cream. This is an easy recipe that everyone should know about!

Chef's Notes

Get creative with the cheese. Use whatever you like and don’t be afraid to mix and match.
I like to use the carb balance tortillas! 
You can add shredded chicken or taco meat (or any kind of meat), or even some black beans. Add a small layer of cheese, then the filling, then top with another coat of cheese. You want the cheese to melt and help adhere the tortillas to the filling. That’s the trick!
I love to use this Pico de Gallo recipe for these quesadillas.

So easy, so delicious, a nice change from grilled cheese sandwiches, - and, best of all, hubby thought they were "a winner." Will be my go-to meal when I'm tired, not feeling up to par, or when we're in a hurry. Thank youfor sharing.
