Learn how to make quesadillas for a deliciously cheesy appetizer. I like to make quesadillas without butter, but you could put butter in the frying pan before adding the tortilla. Serve with sour cream and salsa.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 5 servings

  • 10 (6 inch) corn tortillas

  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

  • 1 (2 ounce) can sliced black olives

  • 2 avocados - peeled, pitted and sliced

  • 2 teaspoons hot pepper sauce

Directions

  1. Heat a large frying pan or griddle over a medium heat. Place one tortilla flat on the frying pan. Cook for 1 minute, then flip the tortilla over. Sprinkle a little more than 1/4 cup cheese on top of tortilla, followed by some olives, avocado, and hot pepper sauce. Place another tortilla on top to make a sandwich; cover with a lid. Cook for 1 minute, then flip the quesadilla. Cook until cheese has melted on the inside; transfer quesadilla to a plate. Repeat with remaining ingredients.

  2. Cut the quesadillas into triangles and serve.
