| 1. *Note: it may take one or two attempts to cook the cheese just right. Keep trying! | 2. In a small bowl, grate cheese and set aside. | 3. Heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat until it becomes very warm to the touch. | 4. Sprinkle the shredded cheese of choice onto the surface of the pan, spreading out the cheese to the approximate diameter of the tortilla. | 5. When the cheese starts to melt, lay the tortilla on top of the cheese and press it down into the melting cheese (this helps the tortilla to adhere.). | 6. Let the tortilla sit, undisturbed, in the pan for approximately 30 seconds. Gently test around the edges by sliding a wide spatula under the tortilla. Lift tortilla slightly to check if the cheese has turned golden and is sticking to the tortilla. | 7. Once the cheese has stuck, slide the spatula completely under the tortilla and flip it over to brown the other side. | 8. Slide tortilla onto a platter. | 9. If desired, top with your favorite quesadilla fillings like guacamole, shredded lettuce, salsa, black olives, sour cream, etc. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
