- Add the Second Tortilla – Place the second tortilla on top, pressing down lightly to help it stick to the cheese.
- Cook Until Golden – Allow the quesadilla to cook for 2–3 minutes until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and crispy
- Flip & Toast — Gently flip the quesadilla over with a spatula and cook for another 2–3 minutes until the second side is crispy and the cheese is melted through.
