Calories: 521kcal
Ingredients
- 1 8-inch flour tortilla
- 1 tablespoon apple butter homemade or store bought
- 3 slices pepper jack cheese
- 1 teaspoon fresh cilantro chopped
- 1 tablespoon salted butter
Instructions
- Spread the apple butter around the tortilla, then top with slices of pepper jack cheese, then a sprinkle of fresh cilantro. Fold in half to enclose the filling.
- Melt butter in a medium sauté pan over medium heat. Place the tortilla in the pan and let cook until golden brown and crisp, about 2-3 minutes. Use a spatula to flip over on to the other side and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Remove the quesadilla from the pan and place on a cutting board. Slice into wedges and serve immediately.
Notes
- Slice the cheese thin so it melts before the tortilla over-browns.
- Don’t overfill the quesadilla or it will be harder to flip cleanly.
- Adjust the amount of apple butter depending on how sweet you like it.
- Serve right away for the best texture.
