Steps

1

Preparation

Prepare all ingredients. Cut the ham into smaller pieces if necessary. Grate the cheese if you are not using pre-shredded.

2

Assembly

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Melt a small amount of butter in it. Place one tortilla in the skillet, then sprinkle half of it with a quarter of the shredded cheese. Add a quarter of the ham, then another layer of cheese. Cover with another tortilla.

3

Cooking

Cook the quesadilla for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and the cheese is completely melted. Repeat the process with the remaining quesadillas, adding more butter to the pan if needed. Remove the cooked quesadilla, cut it into quarters, and serve immediately.

Extra Tips

Experiment with different types of cheese, such as smoked cheese or pepper jack for a spicier kick.

Serve with fresh salsa, sour cream, or guacamole for the complete experience.

If you like it spicy, sprinkle some finely chopped jalapeños between the cheese and ham.
