Description:

When my kids were younger, I was always trying to think of the world’s easiest and quickest way to make their lunches. I don’t think you can get much easier than this…and the kids loved them! These Quick Quesadillas are perfect for a quick lunch or snack, especially for busy days when you need something delicious and satisfying in a flash.

Ingredients:

2 flour tortillas
3/4 cup shredded cheese (your choice of cheese)

Instructions:

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures it’s ready to go once your quesadillas are assembled.
Prepare the Tortillas: Lay one tortilla on a cookie sheet. Make sure the cookie sheet is large enough to fit the tortilla without folding or overlapping.
Add the Cheese: Spread the shredded cheese evenly over the tortilla, ensuring you cover the entire surface. Be careful not to spill it out onto the cookie sheet.
Layer with Second Tortilla: Carefully place the second tortilla over the cheese-covered one, creating a tortilla-cheese-tortilla sandwich.
Bake: Place the cookie sheet with the assembled quesadillas in the preheated oven. Bake for about 10 minutes or until the tortilla begins to turn golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Slice and Serve: Once baked, remove the quesadillas from the oven. Using a pizza cutter, slice them into quarters or eighths, depending on your preference. Serve hot with your favorite toppings such as salsa, sour cream, or guacamole.
