Cheesy Sausage Quesadillas

Ingredients

• 1 pound Sausage (your choice: pork, chicken, or turkey)
• 2 cups Shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend)
• 4 large Tortillas (flour or corn)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil or cooking spray
• Sour cream (for serving) - optional
• Salsa (for serving) - optional

Instructions

1. In a skillet over medium heat, add the sausage. Cook until browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 6-8 minutes.
2. Remove the cooked sausage from the skillet and set it aside, leaving any drippings in the pan.
3. In the same skillet, place one tortilla flat. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese evenly over the tortilla.
4. Add half of the cooked sausage on top of the cheese, followed by another layer of cheese.
5. Top with a second tortilla. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt.
6. Carefully flip the quesadilla using a spatula and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side until golden brown and crispy.
7. Remove from skillet and let it cool for a minute before slicing into wedges. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
8. Serve warm with sour cream and salsa on the side.
