The Perfect Cheese Quesadilla
The Perfect Cheese Quesadilla has gooey, melty cheese and a perfectly golden and crispy tortilla. When we need a fast but deliciously satisfying meal, this is where I turn. And that creamy tomatillo dressing just takes it to the next level!
Servings 4 quesadillas
Ingredients
- 8 medium flour tortillas
- 2 cups Monterey Jack cheese shredded

Creamy Tomatillo Cilantro Lime Dressing
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons ranch dressing mix
- 2 small tomatillos
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 teaspoon lime juice
- 1 small jalapeno seeds removed
Instructions
- Heat a griddle or skillet over medium high heat Add 1 teaspoon of butter and swirl it around. Add one tortilla to the pan and sprinkle with 1/2 cup shredded cheese; top with another tortilla.
- Cook until cheese has melted and tortillas are golden brown, flipping halfway through. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Cut quesadillas into triangles with a pizza cutter. Serve with your favorite salsa.. Enjoy!
Creamy Tomatillo Cilantro Lime Dressing
- Add all ingredients in order to a blender. Blend together until smooth and creamy. Pour into a serving jar/dressing container and let sit in the fridge for 30 minutes before serving. It will look thin at first, but it will thicken as it cools.
- Serve with your favorite salad, or as a dip. We love it with our Copycat Cafe Rio Chicken Salad! Store leftovers in the fridge for up to a week.
