Express Snowflake Quesadillas

Crispy, cheese-filled quesadillas with festive snowflake cut-outs—perfect for a fun and speedy meal or snack.

I love making these quesadillas when I need a fast snack that delights both kids and adults alike.

Ingredients

• Tortillas: 4 large flour tortillas
• Cheese: 1 1/2 cups (150 g) shredded mozzarella cheese, 1/2 cup (50 g) shredded cheddar cheese
• Optional Fillings: 1/4 cup (30 g) chopped green onions, 1/4 cup (30 g) diced red bell pepper, 1/4 cup (30 g) sliced black olives
• For Serving: Sour cream, Salsa

Instructions

Step 1:

Using a sharp knife or cookie cutter, cut snowflake patterns into 2 of the tortillas. These will be your tops.

Step 2:

Place the remaining 2 whole tortillas on a work surface. Evenly sprinkle mozzarella and cheddar cheeses over each, leaving a small border around the edges. Add any optional fillings if desired.

Step 3:

Cover each with a snowflake-cut tortilla.

Step 4:

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Carefully transfer one quesadilla to the skillet. Cook for 2–3 minutes until the bottom is golden and the cheese begins to melt.

Step 5:

Carefully flip and cook the other side for 2–3 minutes until golden and the cheese is fully melted.

Step 6:

Remove from skillet, repeat with the second quesadilla.

Step 7:

Let cool slightly, then cut into wedges. Serve with sour cream and salsa.
