Nif's Very Basic Cheese Quesadillas
"Only 3 ingredients but my youngest DS loves it! Like the name says, it is very basic and is also very low maintenance. I would saute meat and/or veggies and have nonfat sour cream, salsa or guacamole to dip it in, but this is the basic-est version of the quesadilla. You can also use this as an appetizer and cut into thinner wedges. My DS can eat the whole thing now for dinner, but I thought I would list 2 servings. Enjoy!"

- Ready In:
- 12mins
- Ingredients:
- 3
- Serves:
-
2
ingredients
- 1 1⁄2 cups low-fat cheddar cheese, grated
- 2 (10 inch) flour tortillas, soft (I use whole wheat)
- low-sodium taco seasoning, to taste
directions
- Place one tortilla in a nonstick pan and set on stove with the burner off. Sprinkle with cheddar cheese and taco seasoning.
- Turn heat to medium and place other tortilla on top. After about 5 minutes, gently lift edge of quesadilla to see if bottom tortilla is starting to brown. It should take a little longer, but keep a close eye on it. When it is a light golden colour, slide quesadilla on to a plate.
- Flip quesadilla into the pan and brown other side, checking frequently. Slide on to a cutting board. Let sit for a couple of minutes and then cut into quarters.

Very basic but very good, nothing wrong with that! I used garlic powder and paprika. -
This was a great dinner with a tomato soup. I had garlic and herbs shredded cheddar cheese. This was great in it. Thanks Nif :) Made for Zaar Star Game -
I love these simple quesadillas. To me they are so much better than the ones with a zillion things in them. They are also extremely kid-friendly. Thanks for posting! -
Bravo! I came across this recipe looking for something "different" to munch on. I love Quesadillas, but I don't like a bunch of stuff in them. Nif's recipe is exactly like the quesadilla I had the first time I ever had them in a restaurant, and actually I make my own exactly this same way already, but just wanted to offer a "high five" for a simple, delicious recipe. -

I love great food and I particularly like trying cuisines new to me! Although I don't prepare as much food as I used to, creating in my kitchen is still one of my favourite things to do. Enjoy!
