Preheat a skillet or pan for 1 minute over medium-low heat. It's important that the skillet temperature is not too high, so that the tortillas do not harden or overcook before the cheese fully melts.
Add as many tortillas as will fit in pan in single layer. Heat tortillas for 1 minute, flip tortillas and add 1/4 cup shredded cheese to each tortilla and 2 Tbsp of tilapia mixture. Fold and allow cheese to melt, pressing down lightly with spatula. Flip quesadillas when needed to fully melt cheese and lightly brown both sides. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
