put slices of cheese on a tortilla and put it in or on any way of cooking it (toaster oven, microwave, or pan in some cases.)
My children love my Quesadillas. Butter one side of a tortilla, place in a hot skillet, sprinkle shredded Mozzarella cheese cover with another tortilla, buttered on the side up and flip when the cheese melts, brown on both sides and serve up with a little salsa. For adults you can saute some onions and peppers and add that on top of your cheese.

Quesadillas
Introduction:
You've heard about Quesadillas. You have probably seen them in restaurants where they take a flour tortilla, sprinkle cheese and perhaps ham in the middle and cook it somehow until the cheese melts. That may be fine for them but that is not how the real Mexican quesadillas are made.
Quesadillas in Mexico can be found outside movie theaters, stadiums, special events and many other places. Probably the most popular quesadilla is made with potato, with cheese and beans following in popularity. You can find all kinds of types of quesadillas, made with potatoes, cheese, chorizo, beans, green peppers (rajas) and other things.
In this recipe, we show you how to make real Mexican quesadillas (Mexicans not included) with potatoes, chorizo, beans and even cheese (Queso). The picture may not look pretty, but they are very good. This is the real thing.
The basic idea is to make a mixture which serves as the shell for the quesadilla, fill it in with something you like and fry it.
This recipe serves 2.
Ingredients:
Maseca (Instant corn masa mix), Look for the key words MASA and CORN. In case you have trouble finding this at the supermarket
2 large potatoes
Chorizo
16 oz can of refried beans
Cooking oil
Salt
Black pepper
Butter or margarine
shredded Monterey Jack or Manchego cheese
Add any other ingredients you may want
Pre-cooking:
Peal the potatoes and cut them in small chunks
Boil the potatoes in water for 10 minutes or until cooked
Once the potatoes are ready, mash them and add pepper, salt and butter to taste
Keep potatoes warm at low heat
Heat the beans, keep them warm at low heat
Shred and cook the chorizo by itself in a frying pan, then keep at low heat
In a large bowl, add 4 cups of the masa mix and add some warm water, mix with your hands until the masa is firm adding water as necessary.
With your hands, make small balls of masa about 2 inches in diameter, each one of these will be a quesadilla
Cooking:
Set large frying pan in mid-high heat, once hot lower heat to medium
Add enough oil to cover the frying pan to 1 inch deep
Make a round (tortilla like) shape with each of the masa mix balls, using a roller if nescesary
Put chorizo, beans with chorizo, cheese or potatoes in the tortilla and seal the sides by pressing with your fingers
Fry one side until brown, then flip, repeat for all others, cooking as many as you can at the same time
Tips:
Do not let the oil to get too hot, otherwise the quesadillas will burn immediately without really getting cooked in the inside.
Be creative with the ingredients, make quesdillas of anything you like.
I like to use large flour tortillas or corn if you prefer. Heat some oil in a large skillet and place a tortilla in it. Cover with shredded cheese, chopped onion and chopped green chiles. Cover with another tortilla. Once browned and crisp on the first side, turn and crisp the other side. Cut with pizza cutter on plate.
Put cheddar cheese or any kinds of shredded cheeses on tortillas and cover with another one.
You can grill them, broil them or bake in the oven. You can put them in a skillet too, turning once.
Also, add stuff like veggies, chicken, beef and top with sour cream, salsa and guacamole.
For myself,as a quick snack, I always add chopped mild green chiles to one or more grated cheeses that I have on hand. I often have Mexican cheeses but usually will mix them with a Jack or Mozzerella and sometimes mild cheddar cheese because they don't melt as well.
I usually make them in my big iron skillet since it can get hot enough to brown the flour tortillas quickly. I do the fold over method if it isn't for a lot of people...
Sometimes I add chopped black olives and/or Jalapenos and serve with sour cream and a salsa that if from a jar; I add chopped green onions and cilantro to make it taste homemade.
If it is for a party, I make Pico de Gallo (fresh salsa with chopped chiles,onions, tomatoes,lime juice, jalapeno, garlic and maybe cumin. I also will have a simple Guacamole on the side...if I do, there is no cumin in the Pico de Gallo...
INGREDIENTS
10 (6 inch) corn tortillas
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 (2 ounce) can sliced black olives
2 avocados - peeled, pitted and sliced
2 teaspoons hot pepper sauce
DIRECTIONS
Heat a large frying pan or griddle over a medium heat. Place one tortilla flat on the frying pan. After 1 minute flip the tortilla over. Sprinkle a little more than 1/4 cup cheese on the tortilla, followed by some olives, avocado, and hot pepper sauce. Place another tortilla on top to make a sandwich. Cover the quesadilla with a lid. After one minute, flip the quesadilla. When the cheese has melted on the inside, remove the quesadilla. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
Cut the quesadillas into triangles and serve.
to make cheese quesadillas you basically make them the same way you make grilled cheese. you put a drop of butter in a skillet and lay the flout tortilla in the pan layer with cheese and add another tortilla cook on down side for abotu 2 minutes and then flip and cook other side for 2 minutes.
