Ingredients

1 ¼ cups Monterey Jack cheese or white cheddar cheese, coarsely grated

½ cup sour cream

2 scallions, both white and green parts, trimmed and thinly sliced

1 tomato, finely diced

¼ cup cilantro leaves, fresh

12 to 16 pickled jalapeno chilies, chopped

½ teaspoon cumin, ground

Salt to taste

Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

8 flour tortillas (8 inch)

Directions

Preheat oven broiler and broiler pan (leave it under the broiler until ready to cook.

Combine the cheese, sour cream, scallions, tomato, cilantro, chilies, and cumin in a small bowl and stir to mix. Add salt and pepper and stir.

When ready to cook, lay 4 tortillas out on worktop and spread them evenly with the cheese mixture. Press the remaining tortillas on top to make a sandwich. Place one on the hot broiler pan and broil until lightly browned on both sides, 2 to 4 minutes per side, turning carefully with a large spatula (you may have to use two spatulas).

When done, place quesadillas on a pizza pan or large serving plate and cut each into 8 wedges for serving.

Makes 32 wedges. Serves 8 as an appetizer or 4 as a light entrée.

Note: For spicier quesadillas use chopped fresh jalapenos, with or without the seeds.
