1 cup Shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix)
2 tablespoons Butter (optional, for pan-frying)
8 Sliced olives (for eyes)
4 Cherry tomatoes or strips of red bell pepper (for smiles)
Instructions
Prepare the tortillas
Lay out the tortillas on a clean surface.
Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over one half of each tortilla.
Cook the quesadillas
Option 1 (Microwave): Fold each tortilla in half and microwave for 30-45 seconds or until the cheese melts.
Option 2 (Stovetop): Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat, add a little butter (optional), and cook the folded tortilla for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown and the cheese melts.
Decorate the quesadillas
Cut each quesadilla into halves or triangles.
Use sliced olives to make eyes and cherry tomato halves or red bell pepper strips to create smiles.
Press the decorations lightly into the surface so they stick.
Serve
Arrange the “smiling quesadillas” on a plate and serve warm.
