you can still make them w/2 tortillas—i’m not sure i really understand what the problem has been. you heat the bottom tortilla on the cast iron/griddle, add the cheese (and maybe a little sliced avocado), when it starts to get melty, add the top one and flip the quesadilla, let it get thoroughly melty and it’s done. and hearty and delicious.

If you don’t have a cast iron griddle but do have a gas range stove, you can heat the tortillas directly on the range top for a similar effect. Just be careful flipping them.

Glad I could help. Don't give me any credit for it!

I also have strong opinions on flour tortilla quesadillas, as seen here:

I should really read more cookbooks, or at least read the internet, before I try to cook things.

I've been making quesadillas your old way for YEARS and it never turns out the way I imagine it will.

Next time, I'm doing it your new way.

Eh, you’re not the only one. I’ve seen quesadillas made sandwich-style. And really, that’s all a quesadilla is — a grilled cheese sandwich made with tortillas instead of bread.

It sounds like the key is to fry the tortilla before putting cheese on. If you really wanted two tortillas, you could fry them both, add cheese and guac, and sandwich.

I don’t eat the darn things, though. Laurie knows — me and melted cheese don’t mix. Except for pizza and selected other items. I do really like flour tortillas properly warmed in a cast iron pan — they taste much better that way than when they are warmed in the microwave.
