Introduction:
Take a culinary trip to Mexico with these Classic Cheese Quesadillas. A perfect blend of gooey melted cheese, warm tortillas, and a hint of savory goodness, these quesadillas are a quick and satisfying treat for any occasion. 🧀🌮✨

Ingredients:

Flour tortillas (8 medium-sized)
2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend (cheddar, Monterey Jack, and/or queso blanco)
1 cup diced tomatoes
1/2 cup diced red onion
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
Salt and pepper to taste
Sour cream and salsa for serving

Instructions:

Prepare the Cheese Mixture:

In a bowl, combine the shredded Mexican cheese blend, diced tomatoes, diced red onion, and chopped cilantro. Mix well.

Heat a Skillet:

Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.

Assemble the Quesadillas:

Place a tortilla on a clean surface. Spoon a generous amount of the cheese mixture evenly over half of the tortilla, leaving a border around the edges.

Fold the Quesadilla:

Fold the tortilla in half, covering the cheese mixture.

Cook in Skillet:

Brush the skillet with olive oil or melt butter. Place the quesadilla in the skillet and cook until the bottom is golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.

Flip and Cook:

Carefully flip the quesadilla and cook the other side until golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.

Repeat:

Repeat the process for the remaining tortillas and cheese mixture.

Slice and Serve:

Remove the quesadillas from the skillet and let them cool for a minute. Slice each quesadilla into wedges.

Serve with Sour Cream and Salsa:

Serve the Classic Cheese Quesadillas with a side of sour cream and salsa for dipping.
