Easy Cheese Quesadillas

 There’s something awesome about a meal that you can pull together with just cheese, tortillas and a handful of random leftovers or other ingredients from the refrigerator.

Ingredients
  

  • 8 flour tortillas
  • 4 teaspoons butter
  • 3 cups shredded cheese: Cheddar, Monterey Jack, pepper Jack, fontina, Swiss or mozzarella
  • 1 ½ - 2 cups optional fillings

Instructions
 

  • Preheat a large non-stick skillet to medium-high heat. Lightly butter a single side of one tortilla with about ½ a teaspoon of butter and place it in the hot pan. Sprinkle 3 tablespoons of cheese, ¼ cup of your favorite filling, and an additional 2-3 tablespoons of cheese on just one half of the open tortilla. Fold the tortilla over on itself and let it cook for 2-3 minutes.
  • When the cheese has begun to melt and the bottom tortilla is browning slightly, flip the folded quesadilla over to cook the other side. Continue to cook until all the cheese is melted and the tortilla is crisp around the edges.
  • Using a spatula, transfer the quesadilla back to a cutting board and cut into wedges while it is hot and serve warm. Repeat as desired. Enjoy!
