CRISPY-EDGED QUESADILLA
This straightforward quesadilla has an unexpected twist: a border of salty, crispy cheese surrounding the tortilla. Achieving it couldn't be easier; just press down on the folded tortilla as it heats up in the pan so the cheese spills out and turns golden. A nonstick pan is key here, otherwise the melted cheese will glue itself onto the cooking surface. Medium heat is just the right temperature for a quesadilla: It's hot enough to crisp up the cheese but low enough to prevent the cheese from burning.

Steps:
- Place a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat, then add the oil. Let oil heat up for 20 seconds, swirling the pan around so the oil coats the bottom.
- Place the tortilla in the skillet and sprinkle the cheese evenly over the top. Once the cheese begins to melt, 30 seconds to 1 minute, use a spatula to fold the tortilla in half. Using the spatula, press down firmly on the top of the tortilla until some of the cheese runs out into the pan. Let the quesadilla cook until the cheese that's leaked out solidifies and turns brown, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Flip the quesadilla over and let cook on the other side for another 1 to 2 minutes, until the cheese is crisp and golden. Slide quesadilla onto a plate and serve immediately.
Tips:
- Choose the right cheese: A good melting cheese is essential for a crispy quesadilla. Mexican cheese blends like Oaxaca or Chihuahua are great choices, as they melt smoothly and evenly. You can also use mozzarella or cheddar, but they may not be as gooey.
- Use fresh tortillas: Fresh tortillas will give you the best results. If you can't find fresh tortillas, you can also use store-bought tortillas, but make sure they're soft and pliable.
- Heat the tortillas properly: Before you fill the tortillas, heat them in a skillet or on a griddle until they're warm and slightly pliable. This will help them to fold without cracking.
- Don't overload the tortillas: When you're filling the tortillas, don't overload them. Too much filling will make the quesadillas difficult to fold and they may fall apart when you cook them.
- Cook the quesadillas over medium heat: Cook the quesadillas over medium heat so that they have time to cook through without burning. If you cook them over high heat, they may burn on the outside before the inside is cooked.
Conclusion:
Crispy quesadillas are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or meal. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect quesadillas every time. So next time you're looking for a quick and tasty meal, give crispy quesadillas a try!
