Ingredients

2 large (10-inch) flour tortillas
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Kosher salt
1/4 cup sour cream
1 lime, zested and juiced
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
Freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar

Steps:

1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro or parsley leaves (or 1 teaspoon dried parsley)
Preheat the broiler.
Brush the tortillas on both sides with vegetable oil and lightly salt. Heat a large saute pan over medium heat and cook the tortillas, 1 at a time, until slightly golden on both sides. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix together the sour cream, lime zest and juice, cumin, and salt and pepper, to taste, until smooth. Pour into a plastic squeeze bottle or sturdy resealable plastic bag and cut small tip in corner.
Arrange the browned tortillas on a baking sheet and sprinkle evenly with cheese. (You may need to do this in batches if both tortillas don't fit on 1 tray.) Broil until the cheese bubbles and begins to brown, about for 1 to 2 minutes, (be careful not to burn). Slice each quesadilla into 8 wedges and drizzle sour cream decoratively over the top. Sprinkle with cilantro and serve.

These quesadillas are so good! The tortillas are crispy and the cheese is melted and gooey. The fillings are also very flavorful.
