Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 2 cups shredded Oaxaca cheese
- 2 large ripe peaches, sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat Equipment: Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium heat for even cooking
- Prepare Peaches: Brush peach slices lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with cinnamon
- Grill Peaches: Grill for 3-4 minutes until caramelized, flipping halfway through
- Assemble Quesadillas: Layer half of each tortilla with shredded cheese followed by grilled peaches
- Cook Quesadillas: Fold tortillas in half and grill for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown
- Serve: Remove from grill, let rest for one minute, then slice into wedges
Notes
- Choose peaches that are ripe but still firm to prevent them from falling apart during grilling
- Don’t overcrowd the pan when grilling peaches as this will cause them to steam instead of caramelize
- Let quesadillas rest for a minute before cutting to allow the cheese to set slightly
- Use a pizza cutter for clean, even wedges that won’t tear the tortilla
