- 6 fajita sized flour tortillas
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Using a sharp pairing knife, carefully cut a face out of three of the tortillas.
Heat a non stick skillet over medium heat. When hot, add one of the uncut tortillas to the center of the skillet. Top with 1/3 of the shredded cheese. Place one of the face tortillas on top.
Cook, watching to prevent burning, until the cheese begins to melt- about 2-3 minutes. Carefully flip the quesadilla and cook until the other side is a toasty golden brown and the cheese has finished melting.
Repeat until all the quesadillas have been cooked.
Serve warm with salsa & sour cream for dipping.
- You can use a piece of a green bell pepper or some cilantro leaves for an edible 'stem'.
- The recipe can easily be doubled, or even tripled, to feed a larger crowd.
- Use pre-shredded cheese, and make this recipe even quicker than it already is.
