Cheese Quesadilla Recipe
This cheese quesadilla recipe is so easy, and my toddler begs me to make it. You only need 3 ingredients - flour tortillas, butter, and cheddar cheese!
Servings: 1
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
- 2 8-inch flour tortillas
- ¾ cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese*
Optional Toppings
- 2 tablespoons salsa any kind
- 1 tablespoon Greek yogurt
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the butter.
- Once the butter melts, add one of the tortillas to the pan and sprinkle the cheese evenly over the tortilla. Top the shredded cheese with the second tortilla.Â
- Let the bottom tortilla crisp up until golden brown (3-4 minutes) and then carefully flip the quesadilla over with a spatula. Sometimes I like to cover my pan with the top to make sure the cheese melts. Continue cooking the quesadilla until the second tortilla becomes crispy and golden brown.
- Cut the quesadilla into fourths and top the quesadilla with your favorite toppings.Â

Notes
- I always recommend freshly shredding your cheese. If you shred your own cheese, then it won't have any additives on it like bagged shredded cheese.
- Other shredded cheeses that work well for cheese quesadillas include mozzarella, Colby Jack, and Mexican-blend cheddar.
- Feel free to add a cooked protein into your quesadilla such as shredded chicken, beans, beef, or pork.
- Nutrition information does not include toppings.
- Air Fryer Directions: assemble your quesadilla right inside your air fryer. Air fry at 400ºF for 3 minutes and then flip. Air fry for 3 more minutes.
