Few things hit the spot like a perfectly golden, cheese-pull quesadilla, and this version delivers exactly that in a fun, snackable size. The whole recipe comes together in a single skillet with just a handful of ingredients — gluten free tortillas, a generous amount of shredded Mexican blend cheese, and a little butter to get that irresistible crispy edge. One of the trickiest parts of eating gluten free is finding packaged foods you can actually trust, but by building these from scratch at home you stay in full control of every ingredient that goes into the pan. Each tortilla gets loaded with a quarter cup of cheese, sandwiched, and cooked until both sides are deeply golden and the filling is completely melted through — simple technique, seriously satisfying results. Cut into wedges and seasoned with a pinch of salt, they're ready to serve in minutes alongside sour cream and salsa for dipping. This recipe makes four quesadillas and serves four, so it works equally well as a quick weeknight dinner, a party appetizer, or an after-school snack that disappears fast.

Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add about 1/4 tsp of the butter and swirl to coat the surface.
Place one gluten free tortilla in the skillet. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of the shredded cheese evenly over the entire surface, then top with a second tortilla. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until the underside is golden and the edges begin to look set.
