Fiesta Quesadillas with Simple Salsa and Holy Guacamole

Instructions

Place 1 tortilla on a flat work surface, cover it evenly with 1/4 cup of each of the cheeses, and top with 1 teaspoon of the chopped onion.

Cover with the second tortilla and rub 1/2 teaspoon of the oil onto the top tortilla.

Repeat this process with the remaining tortillasóyou will have four stuffed tortilla ìsandwichesî in all.

Heat a medium skillet over medium-low heat.

Add 1/2 teaspoon of the remaining oil to the pan and use a large turner to carefully transfer one of the stuffed tortillas to the hot pan, ungreased side down.

Cook until the bottom is just golden and the cheese is starting to melt, about 2 to 3 minutes. Gently turn with the turner and cook for about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, until golden brown on the second side.

Using the turner, remove the quesadilla from the pan, place on a cutting board, and slice with a pizza cutter or sharp knife.

Repeat with the remaining tortillas and ingredients and serve immediately with about 2 tablespoons of Simple Salsa and a dollop of Holy Guacamole.

Yield: 4 servings

Be careful flipping your hot quesadilla and cutting the hot tortillaóhot cheese can stick!
