Serves 1

Ingredients

• 1 large flour tortilla
  
• 1 cup of your preferred cheese - grated not sliced.
  
• 1 small cube of butter (approximately 2cm x 2cm x 2cm)
  

Method

Warm the Tortilla:

Place the flour tortilla in a skillet over medium-low heat. Let one side warm, then flip it to gently heat the other side.

Add the Cheese:

Sprinkle the cheese over one half of the tortilla. Allow the side now facing down to warm slightly.

Fold the Tortilla:

Fold the tortilla in half over the cheese, creating a half-moon shape.

Add Butter & Crisp:

Add a small knob of butter to the pan — it will sizzle. Tilt the skillet to coat the tortilla, flip, and do the same to the other side.

Flip Until Golden:

Keep flipping the quesadilla gently until the tortilla is crisp and golden, and the cheese inside is fully melted and oozing.

Serve:

Remove from the skillet and serve immediately with Chimichecas Salsa Verde.
