Make

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add one tortilla, spread out filling, and then cover with second tortilla. Cook, flipping once, until both sides are golden brown and crisp and the filling is hot (~4 minutes per side). Continue until all quesadillas are cooked (or use two skillets if making these for a crowd).
  2. Slice quesadillas into wedges and serve with pico de gallo and guacamole on the side!
