Warm up your cast iron griddle or frying pan.

Lay out your tortilla and slice it from the center out to create a score.

In sections one and two, add ingredients that you don't want too cooked, like spinach and avocados.

In sections three and four, add more cooked ingredients like shredded chicken and sautéed bell peppers and onions.

Sprinkle a small amount of cheese on all four sections of the tortilla.

Fold section one up once, then fold it over a second time, and then a third time down to stack the ingredients.

Melt a little butter in the warmed pan.

Add the folded quesadilla to the pan where the melted butter is and press it down with a pot lid or burger press.

Cook the quesadilla for about three to four minutes, then flip it and replace the lid.

Cook for an additional five to six minutes until done.
