This is a quick and easy recipe that works great as a meal, a snack or party food. Kids and adults alike love these quesadillas — the olive oil adds nice flavor besides making a nice crispy tortilla.
The possible variations are endless — we love ham and cheese, mozarella and proscuitto, gruyere and turkey, fontina and mushroom. Be creative!
Ready
- Tortillas (white flour or corn)
- Shredded cheese — mozarella, cheddar, monterey jack
- Black forest ham
- Olive Oil
Set
- Pan (I love cast iron)
- Spatula
- Knife
Go
- Place pan over medium heat.
- Generously coat surface with olive oil.
- Place tortilla in pan.
- Sprinkle grated cheese and pieces of ham on half of tortilla.
- When cheese begins to melt, fold tortilla over with spatula and let cook for a few more minutes.
- Cut quesadilla into wedges and serve while hot.

Thanks for the great idea! We often add chicken; never thought to add ham. Sounds delicious and can’t wait to try it.
I find the tortilla is critical and highly recommend the Guerrero brand. They are exactly the right thickness and heat well without getting rubbery or too chewey. I figure, if the package is mostly in Spanish, they must be good tortillas.
