Notes

Do not use too much butter/oil while cooking quesadilla as it makes quesadilla soggy and greasy. 
To get crispy quesadilla, just add a little oil/butter enough to coat the base of the pan while cooking quesadilla. 
Cook quesadilla on moderate heat so the cheese melts slowly. High heat results in browning tortilla quickly but cheese may not melt completely. 
Cook both sides long enough to ensure tortilla turns deep golden and crispy.
