  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder

Instructions

  6. Fold the tortilla in half to create a quesadilla.
  7. Cook until golden brown and cheese is melted, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  8. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
  9. Cut each quesadilla into wedges and serve immediately with your favorite toppings.
