Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- In a bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, chopped jalapeño, chili powder, ground cumin, paprika, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, cilantro, and lime juice. Stir until everything is well mixed.
- Heat a nonstick skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Add half of the butter and let it melt.
Cooking
- Place one flour tortilla in the skillet, spreading a quarter of your cheese mixture evenly over half of the tortilla. Fold the other half over to create a half-moon shape.
- Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the bottom is golden and crispy. Flip the quesadilla, adding the remaining butter around the edges. Cook for another 2 minutes to ensure the cheese melts and the tortilla crisps up beautifully.
- Remove the quesadilla and keep it warm. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and cheese mixture.
Nutrition
Notes
These quesadillas store well in the fridge for about 3 to 4 days. For reheating, use a skillet to restore crispiness.
