Quesadillas

Crispy tortillas filled with melted cheese and your choice of fillings. Ready in minutes.

Prep: 5 minutes. Cook: 5 minutes. Difficulty: Easy. Serves 2.

Ingredients

  • 4 flour tortillas
  • 200g cheese, grated
  • Optional fillings: cooked chicken, beans, peppers, sweetcorn, jalapeños
  • Sour cream and salsa for serving

Instructions

  1. Place a tortilla flat in a dry pan over medium heat.
  2. Sprinkle cheese over half the tortilla. Add fillings on top of the cheese.
  3. Fold the tortilla in half.
  4. Cook for 2 minutes until golden underneath.
  5. Flip carefully. Cook the other side for 2 minutes.
  6. Cut into wedges. Serve with sour cream and salsa.

Tips for Helpers

  • Medium heat — too high and the outside burns before the cheese melts.
  • Do not overfill or the tortilla will not fold.
  • Press down gently with a spatula while cooking.

Ingredient Substitutions

  • Use corn tortillas for a different texture.
  • Any melting cheese works.
