Classic Cheese Quesadilla

Name: Classic Cheese Quesadilla
Total time: 10 min
Yield: 1
Ingredients: 1 large flour tortilla; 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese; 1 tbsp butter

A crispy tortilla stuffed with melted cheese, pressed flat and cooked covered so the inside melts through before the outside burns - cooking it uncovered and unpressed is why quesadillas often come out with a scorched outside and a cold cheese center.
