Ingredients

• 1 package LARGE Flour Tortillas (comes in pack of 8 or 10)
• Few tbsp oil
• 1 large yellow onion, diced
• 1 poblano, diced
• 1-2 jalapeños, diced
• 1 bell pepper, diced
• Meat (if desired), cook first if using
• 1-2 tbsp cumin
• 1-2 tbsp chili powder
• Pepper to taste
• Garlic salt to taste
• 4 cups shredded mexican cheese
• Salsa, avocado, fresh diced tomatoes, greens

Instructions

1. Cook meat/veggies with spices in large frying pan. Add spices near end of cooking to preserve flavor (especially important for cumin and chili powder)
2. With veggies cooked, add half the cheese and mix together well. It will melt quick
3. Set aside and now to make the quesadillas
4. On cutting board, prepare as follows: one tortilla → thin layer of cheese (think few pinches) → some mixture as made → thin layer of cheese again → another tortilla. Do this for each as you go
5. Add a little oil to same pan over medium heat. Cook on each side until browned (do not flip too early or it will fall apart). Also pressing down with spatula helps the cheese stick/melt to tortilla
6. Cook one at a time and cut into 4ths to serve
7. Top with salsa and other stuff
