Ingredients

  • 2 large flour tortilla
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tbsp butter

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tbsp butter and let it melt, tilting the pan to coat the bottom.

  2. 2

    Place 1 flour tortilla in the skillet. Sprinkle 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the tortilla, leaving a small border.

  3. 3

    Top with the second flour tortilla. Cook until the bottom is golden and crisp, about 2-3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Carefully flip the quesadilla with a spatula. Cook the other side until golden and the cheese is fully melted, about 2-3 minutes more.

    Transfer to a cutting board, let cool for 1 minute, then slice into wedges and serve warm.
