Classic Cheese Quesadillas


Classic Cheese Quesadillas
(4 servings)

 
Ingredients:

8 oz. Coarsely Grated Cheese (your choice)
8 (6 inch) Flour Tortillas
1 or 2 medium Fresh or Pickled Jalapeno Peppers, seeded & diced (optional)
Recommended condiments: Guacamole, Salsa or Sour Cream

Directions:

Warm a large frying pan or griddle over medium heat.  Place one tortilla in pan and add an ounce of cheese to one half of tortilla.  Fold over the empty half and press down.  Griddle 1 to 2 minutes and then flip over and continue another 1 to 2 minutes or until tortilla is slightly browned and cheese has melted.  Remove and repeat process until all tortillas are done.  Keep finished ones in a warm 200 degree oven while finishing the other tortillas.  Cut each tortilla in thirds and place on a platter to serve.  Offer condiments mentioned above and/or others with the quesadillas.

Note:               Cheddar and Monterey Jack are the most used cheeses for quesadillas.  You can use one or the other or combine them.  If your tastes are to other cheeses, give them a try too.
