Best Cheesy Quesadillas
- Smear a small amount of butter or oil in a large frying pan
- Warm pan
- Add tortilla to the pan and top the entire quesadilla with ½ cup cheese
- When the cheese melts, add your quesadilla filling to half of the tortilla
- When the tortilla is golden brown, fold over the half of the tortilla with just the cheese over the half with the filling
- Slide your cheesy quesadilla onto a cutting board and cut into three wedges
- Repeat steps with the additional tortilla(s)
- Serve with the Creamy Mexican Dip
- Enjoy!
You can make the creamy Mexican dip a day or two in advance. It will enhance the flavors! The creamy Mexican dip is also Weight Watchers friendly! The only thing that has any points is the salsa, and that is one point for 2 tablespoons. We served our quesadillas with chips and fresh vegetables, which we also dipped in the homemade Mexican dip.
This recipe will make 6 "wedges", each person in my family ate 2 wedges, adjust the recipe as needed for your family. These cheesy quesadillas also warm up nicely if you end up with any leftovers.
