Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Slice the hot dogs lengthwise into thin strips.
Add the hot dogs to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, flipping occasionally, until lightly browned. Remove and set aside.
Spread a thin layer of butter on one side of each tortilla.
Place one tortilla butter-side down in the same skillet.
Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the tortilla.
Arrange the cooked hot dog slices evenly on top of the cheese layer.
Drizzle ketchup and mustard over the hot dogs. If using pickles, sprinkle them on top as well.
Add the remaining cheddar cheese over the hot dogs, then top with the second tortilla, butter-side up.
Cook the quesadilla for 3-4 minutes, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and crispy.
Carefully flip the quesadilla and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the second side is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it rest for 1-2 minutes before slicing into quarters.
Serve warm and enjoy your hot dog quesadilla!
