Classic cheese quesadillas are without a doubt the most requested meal at lunchtime around my house, especially when the weather gets cooler. A cheese quesadilla is delicious alongside a cup of tomato basil soup or with a side of apple slices and is pretty yummy just right by itself.
Here’s how I make it.
