Step 2: Prepare the quesadillas Lay out a tortilla on a flat surface. Sprinkle a layer of shredded cheese on one half of the tortilla. Add your chosen fillings on top of the cheese, then sprinkle another layer of cheese on top of the fillings. Fold the other half of the tortilla over to cover the fillings.

Step 3: Cook in the oven Brush both sides of the prepared quesadillas with olive oil. Place them on a baking sheet. Bake in the oven at 180 degrees C (360 degrees F) for about 10-15 minutes or until the tortillas are crispy and the cheese is melted, flipping once halfway through.

Note: The cooking time and temperature may vary depending on your oven.

Step 4: Serve These quesadillas are best served hot. Cut each quesadilla into wedges and serve with your choice of salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.
