Cheese Quesadillas (A Traditional Mexican Chanukah Dish)

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons margarine or butter, room temperature (or 1 tablespoon oil)
  • 12 8-inch tortillas
  • 3 cups shredded cheese – cheddar/Monterey Jack/mozzarella, or a mix

Directions

Lightly spread margarine or butter on one side of each tortilla. Heat a frying pan over low heat. Place one tortilla, margarine/butter side down, in the pan. Sprinkle surface of the tortilla with 1/2 cup of cheese. Place second tortilla, margarine/butter side up, over the first tortilla in the frying pan. Allow the cheese to melt 1-3 minutes (times will vary). Flip the quesadilla over and allow it to turn golden on the other side for another 30 seconds to a minute. Remove to a platter, or keep warm in the oven. Repeat the same process until you have made 6 portions.

Serve with:

Fresh Tomato Salsa, Guacamole, sour cream, jalapenos, or green onions.
