Add a little vegetable oil to saute pan and allow to heat oil warm over medium-low heat. Place tortilla in pan, cheese side down, and cook over heat until the cheese mixture is thoroughly melted and tortilla is lightly browned. Top the filled tortilla with a small weight when cooking. See below*. Repeat the same procedure with second side and the remaining torilla's. Cut each quesadilla into 4 wedges. Spoon salsa over quesadillas. Serve sour cream on the side or spoon it on top of the salsa. Nice with yellow rice and an easy salad of sliced tomatoes and avocado. Squeeze lime juice over the tomatoes and avocado for flavor and to keep the avocado from changing color. Spinkle salt and pepper as desired.

Serves 2 to 4.

* Place weight on tortilla. Use a small pot or heat plate or bowl.
