Carefully place the folded tortilla on a hot pan or skillet.
Spray oil on the tortilla and cook over medium flame, pressing gently until the bottom side turns golden.
½ Teaspoon Oil

Notes

Oil: Avoid spraying/applying too much oil when cooking quesadillas, as it makes them greasy.

Medium Heat: Cook quesadillas over medium heat to allow cheese to melt evenly. High heat results in browning the tortilla quickly while the cheese remains unmelted.
