Ingredients

To make a panini quesadilla, you'll need the following ingredients:
  • 2 flour tortillas
  • 2 slices of your favorite cheese (such as cheddar or pepper jack)
  • 1/4 cup of cooked chicken or steak, sliced into small pieces (optional)
  • 1/4 cup of diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup of diced onions
  • 1/4 cup of diced bell peppers
  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon of chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Here's how to make a panini quesadilla:
  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Meanwhile, lay one tortilla flat on a cutting board or plate.
  3. Add a slice of cheese to one half of the tortilla.
  4. If you're using meat, add the slices on top of the cheese.
  5. Add the diced tomatoes, onions, and bell peppers on top of the meat (if using) or cheese.
  6. Sprinkle with chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  7. Add the second slice of cheese on top of the vegetables.
  8. Fold the tortilla in half, pressing down gently to seal the edges.
  9. Brush the top of the tortilla with olive oil.
  10. Transfer the quesadilla to the skillet, oiled side down.
  11. Brush the top of the quesadilla with more olive oil.
  12. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the bottom is crispy and golden brown.
  13. Flip the quesadilla over and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the other side is crispy and golden brown.
  14. Remove from the skillet and let cool for a minute or two.
  15. Repeat the process with the second tortilla and remaining ingredients.
  16. Once both quesadillas are cooked, cut them into wedges and serve immediately.
