How to make chile cheese quesadillas with salsa
- Making quesadillas is like making tortilla sandwiches.
- Mix together the cheeses and spread equally on four of the tortillas.
- Sprinkle the chiles evenly over the cheese. Top with the remaining tortillas.
- If you have a skillet or griddle large enough to accommodate all 4 quesadillas, warm it up and add the oil.
- Over medium-high heat, cook the quesadillas 2 minutes or until bottoms are browned.
- Carefully turn them over and brown the other side. Remove from heat and cut each into quarters.
- If your skillet is smaller, cook quesadillas one at a time, using 2 teaspoons of oil with each quesadilla.
- For the salsa: Combine all ingredients in a non-metallic bowl. Chill for 1 hour. Bring to room temperature, stir and drain any excess liquid.
