Cheese quesadillas are crispy, melty and ready to eat in just 15 minutes. Plus, they're endlessly customizable.
Ingredients
4 flour tortillas (8 inches), warmed
1-1/2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
1/2 cup salsa
Instructions
1Assemble the quesadillas
2Lay the tortillas out on a greased baking sheet. In a small bowl, stir together the cheese and salsa. Spread the mixture over half of each tortilla, then fold the tortillas in half to seal in the filling. Editor's Tip: If you'd rather skip the mixing bowl (and have one less dish to wash), spread about 2 tablespoons of salsa over each tortilla and top it with cheese.
3Broil the quesadillas
4Raise your oven's top rack to about 4 inches from the broiler and preheat the broiler. Place the baking sheet in the oven and broil the quesadillas for about three minutes until the tortillas are golden brown. Carefully flip each quesadilla and broil for another three minutes, until the other side is browned. Remove the quesadillas from the oven, cut each into wedges and serve them warm. Editor's Tip: Reach into your drawer of kitchen gadgets for a wide, sturdy spatula to carefully flip the quesadillas, and for a pizza cutter to slice neat wedges without squishing out the cheese filling.
