Directions

  1. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat, cook and stir onion until softened and lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Add jalapeno peppers to onion, cook and stir until onion is browned, about 10 minutes more. Transfer onion mixture to a plate.

  2. Heat about 1 tablespoon olive oil in the same skillet and add 1 tortilla. Top tortilla with 1/4 cup Mexican cheese blend, 1/2 of the onion mixture, and 1/4 cup Mexican cheese blend, respectively, top with 1 tortilla. Cook quesadilla until browned and cheese is melted, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining oil, tortillas, cheese, and onion mixture.

Recipe Note

This is great for an appetizer or meal. You can add meat if you like, but I made a vegetarian option for meatless Monday! Top each quesadilla with sour cream, salsa, lettuce, and guacamole.
