Quesadillas Without Sauces

A quick and delicious Mexican dish made by filling tortillas with cheese and other ingredients, then toasting until warm and melty.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup cooked chicken, shredded (optional)
  • 1/4 cup diced bell peppers
  • 1/4 cup chopped onions
  • 1 tablespoon butter or oil
  • Salsa, sour cream, or guacamole for serving

Instructions

  1. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of butter or oil.
  2. Place one tortilla in the skillet and sprinkle with 1/2 cup of cheese.
  3. Add cooked chicken, peppers, and onions evenly over the cheese.
  4. Top with another tortilla and cook for 2–3 minutes until the bottom is golden and cheese starts melting.
  5. Carefully flip and cook the other side for another 2–3 minutes.
  6. Remove from skillet, cut into wedges, and serve with salsa, sour cream, or guacamole.

  • You can use any type of cheese such as Monterey Jack, mozzarella, or a mix.
  • For vegetarian quesadillas, omit the chicken and add more vegetables or beans.
