Ingredients

• 2 pieces Flour tortillas
• 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 medium Tomato, diced
• 1 tablespoon Butter
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Place one of the tortillas on a flat surface and evenly spread the shredded cheddar cheese on top, leaving about 1/2 inch from the edges.

Step 2

Sprinkle the diced tomato evenly over the cheese layer. Add a pinch of salt and black pepper to taste. If desired, sprinkle chopped cilantro for added freshness.

Step 3

Cover with the second tortilla, pressing lightly to secure the filling.

Step 4

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until it starts to foam slightly.

Step 5

Carefully place the quesadilla into the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side or until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy.

Step 6

Using a spatula, gently flip the quesadilla and cook for another 3-4 minutes, ensuring the cheese is fully melted and the tortilla is evenly browned.

Step 7

Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and transfer it to a cutting board. Allow it to cool slightly for 1-2 minutes.

Step 8

Cut the quesadilla into quarters or smaller wedges and serve warm. Pair with sour cream, guacamole, or salsa if desired.
