- Guacamole for serving
Instructions
- Heat the butter or olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add one tortilla to the pan and scatter the cheddar cheese in an even layer all over the tortilla. Place the second tortilla on top of the cheese.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the bottom of the tortilla starts to become golden brown. Carefully flip the tortilla and cook on the other side for 2-3 minutes or until the bottom of the tortilla becomes golden brown.

Notes
My Top Tip: Watch the butter! Butter burns very quickly so you need to keep an eye on it. Make sure to add your tortillas when it's just melted.
Storage: Leftover quesadillas can be stored in an airtight container for up to 5 days in the fridge. Gently reheat in a frying pan over medium-low heat until warmed through.
To freeze, tightly wrap in foil or plastic wrap and place in a freezer-safe zip-top bag. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat when you're ready to eat.
