Equipment

  • pan

Ingredients

  • 4 Tortilla flour or corn(I used the burrito size)
  • 1 cup Cheese Mexican blend (¼ cup for each quesadilla)
  • Non stick oil spray

Instructions

  • Prepare the salsa as per the recipe and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • Heat the pan and spray some oil. Now place a tortilla on the pan and heat it until light brown spots appear.
  • Now flip the tortilla and fill one half of it with ¼th cup of cheese.
  • Fold the tortilla over (makes a semi circle) and then press it down with a spatula. You will notice that the cheese starts to melt.
  • Flip the tortilla over and cook on the other side too.
  • Now using a pizza cutter cut the quesadilla into 4 strips. Repeat the same with the rest of the tortillas.
  • Serve with salsa!
