The easiest of quick bites to make, these will be just about the most popular since there's a myriad of fillings from which to choose. Coloured or flavoured tortillas add extra whimsy.

Ingredients

  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey jack cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped pickled jalapeño peppers

Preparation

Lay each tortilla on work surface. Sprinkle 1/4 cup (50 mL) shredded cheese on half of each; top with one-quarter of the jalape?eppers. Fold uncovered half over filling.

Bake quesadillas on greased baking sheet in 400°F (200°C) oven, turning once, for about 8 minutes per side or until golden. Cut each into 8 wedges.
