Maduros Breakfast Quesadilla

Ingredients

• 0.5 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese 🧀
• 2 large flour tortillas 🌯
• 1 tbsp butter 🧈 or cooking oil 🛢️
• Pinch of salt 🧂
• Optional: hot sauce or crema for dipping 🌶️🍶

Instructions

1. 1Prep the Maduros: Peel and slice the ripe plantains into coins. Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat and cook plantains until golden brown on both sides, about 4–5 minutes per side. Set aside. 🍌🔥
