Ingredients

• 4 medium-sized flour tortillas
• 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend)
• 1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded (optional)
• 1 medium bell pepper, finely diced
• 1 small jalapeño, finely diced (optional)
• 2 tablespoons butter, softened
• 0.5 cup sour cream (for serving)
• 0.5 cup salsa (for serving)
• 0.5 cup guacamole (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Lay two of the tortillas on a clean work surface. Evenly distribute 1 cup of shredded cheese across each tortilla.

Step 2

Top the cheese with shredded chicken (if using), diced bell pepper, and diced jalapeño for an extra kick of spice.

Step 3

Place the remaining two tortillas on top of the filled tortillas to create sandwich-like stacks.

Step 4

Lightly spread softened butter on the top side of each quesadilla stack.

Step 5

Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and place one quesadilla stack into the skillet, buttered side down.

Step 6

Cook for 2-3 minutes, pressing lightly with a spatula, until the bottom is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt.

Step 7

Spread butter on the top side of the quesadilla while it cooks. Flip carefully and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

Step 8

Repeat with the second quesadilla stack.

Step 9

Transfer the cooked quesadillas to a cutting board and let them cool for 1-2 minutes before slicing each into 6 wedges.

Step 10

Serve warm with sour cream, salsa, and guacamole on the side for dipping.
