Ingredients

Directions

  1. Lightly grease the sandwich maker plates with non-stick spray or brush with margarine to prevent sticking.

  3. Sprinkle a generous amount of grated cheese evenly over the center of each tortilla.
  4. Top the cheese with the chopped black olives, distributing them evenly.
  5. Cover the fillings with the remaining two flour tortillas to create the top layer.
  6. Close the lid of the sandwich maker and latch it securely.
  7. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
  8. Carefully open the maker and remove the quesadillas, allowing them to cool slightly before cutting.
  9. Slice into triangles and serve immediately with sour cream, salsa, or guacamole.
