Cook (from the initial placement of the first tortilla) for 2 minutes.

Using the edge of the spatula, attempt to lift one edge of the bottom tortilla. If the very edge lifts as a stiff unit, it’s ready. If it’s soft and floppity, it’s not.

Assuming it’s ready (they’re always ready at the 2-minute mark), slide the LARGE spatula beneath it. Cover the top of the quesadilla with your free hand (to steady it) and lift the entire thing from the skillet.

Holding the top in place with your hand, flip it uncooked side down onto the skillet. Make sure to remove your hand from the top, because hot oil will burn the fuck out of you.

I know from experience that being burned is a motherfucker.

Cook for 2 minutes.

Lift in the same manner as before. Place flat on a plate.

Cut into quarters with a pizza cutter.

Garnish with sour cream and salsa.

Enjoy.

This might sound weird, but leftover quesadilla quarters can be kept in the fridge and eaten later, cold. A cold slice of quesadilla is FAR better than a cold slice of pizza.

My father once said, “There are two types of people on this earth. Only two. Those who eat cold pizza, and those who don’t.”

You know what?

He was right.

As I said earlier, enjoy.
