Ingredients

Oaxaca cheese
2 cups, shredded
Flour tortillas
4 (10-inch)
Unsalted butter
2 tablespoons
Sour cream
1 cup (for serving)
Guacamole
1 cup (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Begin by preparing your ingredients. Shred the Oaxaca cheese and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the unsalted butter over medium heat until melted and bubbly.
  3. Place one tortilla in the skillet, ensuring it is evenly coated with melted butter.
  4. Sprinkle a generous quarter of the shredded Oaxaca cheese over half of the tortilla.
  5. Carefully fold the tortilla in half over the cheese, pressing down gently to seal.
  6. Cook the quesadilla for about 2 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.

  10. Serve the quesadillas hot, accompanied by salsa, guacamole, and sour cream for dipping.
