Whole recipe (1 serving): 410 kcal
- 1 (8 to 10 inch) flour tortilla
- 1 teaspoon butter, very light coating
- 1/4 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
- Cooked chicken, optional, to taste
- Black beans, optional, to taste
Method
9 steps- Butter the outside of the tortilla with a very light coating of butter.
- Heat a cast iron skillet over medium to medium-high heat.
- Place the tortilla in the skillet and heat it up together.
- Spread cheese all the way around the tortilla, on half for fillings.
- Add fillings such as cooked chicken and black beans on half of the tortilla.
- Cook until the cheese is melted and the outside is toasted, about a few minutes.
- Flip the quesadilla with the cheesy side over the filled side, cook until crusty and golden, about another minute.
- Cut the quesadilla into triangles, typically into three pieces for an 8-inch or smaller tortilla.
- Serve with toppings like sour cream, guacamole, pico de gallo, or last-minute toppings like olives, jalapenos, or lettuce added before flipping.
