Quesadillas


This is so easy to make and is great with leftovers such as chicken, steak, my sister-in-law had me use a pork loin once in this. Or just with cheese.

Flour Tortillas
Sharp Cheddar cheese (or jack, pepper jack, whatever you prefer)
Your favorite taco sauce (optional)
Leftover meat (optional)

Toppings:
Salsa, sour cream, guacamole - whatever you like.

Heat a large skillet and place a flour tortilla in it. Heat for a few seconds and turn over. You are just making the tortilla pliable and warming it up. Remove to your work space.

On half of the tortilla, spread a layer of cheese and a layer of meat (optional) and add a small amount of taco sauce. If you over fill it, it will ooze and make a mess. Fold the tortilla over in half to a half moon shape. Do the same thing with a second tortilla. Return the quesadillas to the hot pan. Keep an eye on the bottom not to burn it. As soon as it starts to turn brown, flip them over. As soon as they are brown on the other side, remove from the pan to a cutting board. The cheese should be melted and the outside crisp. Cut each quesadilla into thirds and plate with toppings.
