Cheesy Quesadillas
Ingredients
- 2 to 3 cups filling: leftover cooked vegetables cooked meat, crumbled tofu, cooked beans, fresh or frozen corn, cooked rice or grains, or any other leftovers
- 2 teaspoons butter or vegetable oil divided
- 4 large flour tortillas 9-inch to 10-inch
- 2 cups shredded cheese such as cheddar, Monterey jack, colby, fontina, or any favorite melting cheese
Instructions
- Prep filling - if cold, warm it in microwave. If raw, cook/steam beforehand. (You can be creative with the filling- beans, sliced protein, and reheated frozen or pre-cooked veggies are all great options)
- Place 1 tortilla in the skillet and sprinkle all over with ~1/2 cup of cheese (about 1/4 of your shredded cheese pile)
- Add a layer of filling over half of the tortilla.
- When the cheese melts, begin lifting a corner of the tortilla and checking the underside. When you see golden-brown spots on the underside of the tortilla, the quesadilla is ready.
- Transfer to the cutting board and cut into triangles (or not!).
- Repeat process with the remaining tortillas
