- Place the folded tortillas in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they’re golden brown and the cheese has melted. Be gentle when flipping—no one wants a cheesy disaster!

Notes
Don’t worry if your quesadillas look a little messy when you flip them; it’s part of the charm! Experiment with different fillings; you can add beans, peppers, or even customize with some spicy jalapeños for extra zest! If you’re short on time, consider using a rotisserie chicken; it can save you the trouble of cooking and shredding the chicken yourself.
