Shred the cheese and dice the chicken (or whatever meat you are using) into bite-sized pieces.  Dice the peppers, onions and prepare any other topping you wish to serve alongside the quesadillas (lime, avocado, cilantro, etc).

Heat up the cast iron skillet to medium and oil it.  You don’t want the skillet too hot or the tortillas will burn before the cheese melts.

Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet and lay in the first tortilla.

Spread a handful of cheese, some meat, and all your favorite fillings.

Add a bit more cheese on top of everything (so it will all stick together) and put the lid on.

Flip when the cheese is melting and the tortilla is perfectly brown.

Once both sides are browned, use a pizza cutter to slice and serve!

Great sides for serving with homemade quesadillas:

• fresh tomatoes
• cilantro
• sour cream
• guacamole
• lime wedges
• sliced avocado
• salsa or pico de gallo
