Easy Cheese Quesadillas Recipe

Everyone loves cheese quesadillas! Make them in 5 minutes with just 2 ingredients!

Crispy browned tortilla with gooey melted cheese inside – doesn’t get better than that! How many of these yummy quesadillas are you going to eat?

Piping hot, straight from the frying pan! You’ll want to eat them so badly, you won’t be able to wait for them to cool down!

Is cheese quesadilla an appetizer or main dish? It’s whatever you want to make of it!  You can serve it as an appetizer with a side of best ever guacamole or salsa from scratch.  I often eat it as a main dish – it’s on my “easy lunches” rotation :)

Kids love quesadillas for lunch or dinner!

How To Make Cheese Quesadillas

Cheese quesadillas need just 2 ingredients – flour tortillas and shredded cheese! Well, the third ingredient is oil, but that doesn’t really count, does it? :)  Plus you can always use non-stick cooking spray instead.

To make cheese quesadillas, first heat a little oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Fit 2 flour tortillas on a frying pan as on the picture below.

Add shredded cheese to half of each tortilla.

Then fold tortillas over so cheese is inside.

Cook the quesadillas for 3 minutes (or until golden-brown on the bottom), then flip over with a spatula.

Cook the cheese quesadillas on another side for 2 minutes, or until golden brown.

If desired, slice into wedges before serving.  The easiest way to cut quesadillas (and pizza too) is using scissors :)  Yes, people might think you are crazy, but once you try it, you’ll never want to struggle with using a knife or pizza cutter for that purpose!
