Three Cheese Quesadilla Recipes

THREE-CHEESE QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• Spread butter over one side of each tortilla. Spread cream cheese over unbuttered side on half the tortillas. Sprinkle with cheeses, onion, cilantro and olives. Top with remaining tortillas, buttered side up., Cook on a griddle over medium heat for 1-2 minutes on each side or until cheese is melted. Cut into wedges. Serve with salsa and sour cream if desired.

CHEESE QUESADILLA

Steps:

• Heat a large nonstick skillet or comal over low-medium heat. Heat the tortillas slightly, flipping them over every 10 seconds, until they're easily foldable and pliable.
• Evenly divide the cheese and sprinkle it onto one half of each tortilla. Generously season with salt.
• Fold the tortillas over the cheese to create a half-moon shape.
• Cook the quesadillas for 1-2 minutes, or until one side of the quesadilla is golden-brown. You may have to press down lightly on the tops of the quesadillas with a spatula to prevent the tortillas from opening up.
• Flip over and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until golden-brown and the cheese has fully melted.
• Serve immediately as is, or cut them in half and serve with sour cream, pico and your favorite salsa.

CHEESE QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• Lay the tortillas flat on a cookie sheet. Sprinkle some of the cheese on 1 half of each tortilla. Try not to get it too close to the edge. Fold the tortillas in half over the cheese to make a half-moon. Warm a skillet over low heat and add 1 tablespoon of the butter. Add the tortilla to the skillet and cook until it is lightly brown, about 2 minutes. Using a spatula, gently lift the edge so you can check. When 1 side is brown, turn the tortilla over and cook the other side until brown and the cheese is all gooey. Use a spatula to transfer to individual plates or a large platter. Repeat with remaining butter and tortillas. Top them with the sour cream, salsa and guacamole.
