Cook Time: 5 mins
Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup pepper jack cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon taco seasoning
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and ensure cheeses are freshly shredded or crumbled.
- In a small bowl, mix the shredded cheddar, mozzarella, pepper jack, and crumbled feta cheeses together. Sprinkle taco seasoning over the cheese mixture and gently combine.
- Lay out flour tortillas on a clean cutting board. Divide the cheese mixture evenly across half of each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edge.
- Fold the empty half of each tortilla over the cheese, creating a half-moon shape. Gently press down to ensure the cheese is evenly distributed.
- Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, carefully place the folded quesadillas in the pan.
- Cook for approximately 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla turns golden brown and the cheese is completely melted.
- Remove quesadillas from the skillet and let rest for 1-2 minutes. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice each quesadilla into 4-6 bite-sized triangles.
- Arrange quesadilla bites on a serving platter. Optional: Serve with salsa, guacamole, or sour cream for dipping.
Tips
- Always use freshly shredded cheese for the best melting consistency and flavor.
- Keep your skillet at medium heat to achieve that perfect golden-brown crisp without burning.
- Don't overcrowd the pan – cook quesadillas in batches to ensure even cooking.
- Let the quesadillas rest for a minute after cooking to help the cheese set and make cutting easier.
- For extra flavor, experiment with different taco seasonings or add finely chopped jalapeños to the cheese mix.
- Use a pizza cutter for clean, precise bite-sized triangles.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and cheese pull effect!
