Ingredients:

  • 4 (8-inch) Flour Tortillas
  • 2 tbsp (28g) Unsalted Butter, softened
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) Vegetable Oil
  • 2 cups (225g) Shredded Cheese (Monterey Jack and Sharp Cheddar blend)
  • 1/4 tsp (1.5g) Garlic Powder

Instructions:

  1. Combine the softened butter and vegetable oil in a small bowl. Brush this mixture evenly across one side of each tortilla.
  2. Place a buttered tortilla butter-side down in a skillet over medium heat. Immediately sprinkle a generous handful of shredded cheese over the entire surface, leaving a tiny 1/8-inch border around the edges.
  3. Once the cheese begins to glisten and soften, fold the tortilla in half to create a semi-circle. Press down firmly with a spatula.
  4. Grill for 2–3 minutes per side until the exterior is golden brown and crispy and the cheese is fully molten.
  5. Transfer the quesadilla to a cutting board and let it rest for 60 seconds before slicing into three wedges using a pizza cutter or sharp knife.
