Total Time: 20 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 2
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 flour tortillas
• 8 ounces monterey jack pepper cheese, sliced thin
• 1 tomato, sliced thin

Recipe

• 1 to assemble quesadilla, place one tortilla on a dinner plate. arrange sliced cheese atop tortilla, leaving at least 1/2 inch space from the edge of the tortilla. arrange sliced tomatoes atop cheese layer followed by another layer of cheese (remaining). top with remaining tortilla.
• 2 while assembling the quesadillas, preheat an electric griddle to 350 f (or grill to medium-high heat). i use a griddle (rather than a grill) to cook quesadillas, as it is easier to turn them without losing their insides.
• 3 brush 1 tbs. olive oil onto the griddle, covering the surface. brush the remaining 1 tbs. olive oil onto the top exposed tortilla. gently slide the quesadilla from the dinner plate onto the griddle (olive oil-less side down).
• 4 cook for 5-7 minutes or until bottom tortilla begins to brown. with a large spatula, gently but swiftly turn quesadilla to brown other side. cook for 5-7 minutes or until bottom tortilla begins to brown. remove to a cutting board and allow to cool for 5 minutes.
• 5 slice into quarters and serve immediately with garnish of your preference. i like to use sour cream, salsa or guacamole. for this particular recipe, i served it with my easy tex-mex tomato soup.
