Ingredients
- 2 each flour tortillas 8 or 10-inch tortillas
- 1/2 cup Monterey Jack cheese shredded
- 1 cup diced turkey
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add a flour tortilla to the bottom of the skillet.
- Top the tortilla with half of the shredded cheese, followed by the diced turkey and the remaining cheese.
- Add a tortilla to the top and cook for a few minutes until the cheese is starting to melt and the bottom tortilla is golden brown. About 3-4 minutes.
- Flip the tortilla. To do this, cover the top of the quesadilla with an upside-down plate. Hold the plate with one hand and, with the other, flip the skillet over so that the quesadilla is now on the plate. Slide the quesadilla off the plate and into the skillet, uncooked side down.
- Cook for 1-2 more minutes until the cheese and turkey is heated through and the bottom tortilla is golden brown.
- Slide the quesadilla out of the skillet and onto a cutting board, cut it into wedges, and serve with all your favorite sauces and condiments!
Notes
Chef Jenn's Tips
- Any sized tortillas will work, but skip the extra large burrito-sized tortillas because they may not fit in a skillet well and will be harder to flip.
- Don't add much in the way of sauces to the filling, or your tortilla could get soggy. Save the sauces for dipping.
- Use low-carb tortillas to make these keto quesadillas.
- Need to make a bunch of quesadillas? You can keep them warm in a low oven (200F) until they're all cooked or make them on a Blackstone griddle.
