- Then repeat process with the remaining tortillas and cheese.
- When you are done making the quesadillas, cut them quesadillas into halves/thirds.
- Garnish with cilantro. Serve hot with desired dips/sauces.
Notes
- I used Mozzarella cheese, feel free to use your favorite cheese including a blend of more than one cheese.
- Freshly grated cheese is my preference because they do not contain caking agents and melt better.
- However, you can also use store bought pre shredded cheese for your convenience.
- The extra seasoning is optional feel free to leave it out.
- You can either serve toppings like salsa or pico de gallo on the side or add it into the quesadillas as it cooks just before folding.
