Quesadillas

Recipe origin: Mexico

Ingredients

• 2 flour tortillas
• 1 cup cheese, shredded (preferably Monterey Jack)
• Salsa (preferably Pico de Gallo; see recipe, above)

Procedure

1. Place a frying pan on medium to low heat.
2. Put first tortilla in (oil should not be used!) and sprinkle half the cheese and a spoonful of salsa onto ½ of the tortilla.
3. When the cheese begins to melt, use a spatula to fold the other half of the tortilla over top, making an envelope.
4. The tortilla should turn golden, but should not brown; turn down the heat, if necessary. Let cook about 1 minute, to allow the cheese to completely melt.
5. Remove to a plate and repeat, using the second tortilla.

Makes 1 snack.
