02 - 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
03 - 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

# How to Make It:

01 - Cut snowflake patterns into two tortillas using a sharp knife or cookie cutter to create decorative tops.
02 - Place the two remaining whole tortillas on a work surface and evenly distribute mozzarella and cheddar cheeses over each, leaving a small border. Add optional fillings if desired.
03 - Top each cheese-covered tortilla with a snowflake-cut tortilla to form the quesadilla.

06 - Remove the cooked quesadilla from the skillet and repeat the process with the second quesadilla.
