A quick and delicious dish featuring savory sausage and melted cheese, perfect for lunch or dinner.
Ingredients
Scale:
4 large flour tortillas
2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend)
1 pound sausage (Italian or spicy, cooked and crumbled)
1 tablespoon olive oil or cooking spray
Fresh cilantro (optional)
Sour cream (optional)
Pico de gallo or salsa (optional)
Guacamole (optional)
Instructions
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Break it apart with a spatula as it cooks, and drain any excess grease.
On one half of each tortilla, layer cooked sausage and shredded cheese. Fold the tortilla in half and press down gently.
Heat a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil or cooking spray, and cook the quesadillas for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and the cheese has melted.
Remove the quesadillas from the skillet, let them cool for a minute, cut into wedges, and serve with your choice of toppings.
