I first had these when working next door (from a bar on Sunset Blvd. in 1979). The concept is simple, the ingredients simpler.I have enhanced the 'bar food' version, as I learned they could be more complete and more satisfying. Serve for snacks or a [[Light lunch|light lunch]]. Think of [[Quesadillas|quesadillas]] as [[Tex-Mex]] [[Pizza|pizza]].

{{RecipeIngredients
| 4 [[Flour tortillas|flour tortillas]] (10"-12")
| 6 oz. [[Grated|grated]] [[Monterey Jack cheese]]
| 1/3 cup fresh green or red [[Jalapeno|jalapeno]] [[Peppers|peppers]], seeded and membraned, then [[Diced|diced]] fine
| ½ cup [[Diced|diced]] [[Spanish]] (Yellow) [[Onion|onion]], fine diced
| 3 tablespoons [[Tomato salsa|tomato salsa]] ( or more) you choose the [[Salsa|salsa]]-I make my own)
| Chopped [[Cilantro]] (opt.)
| ½ teaspoon [[Ground cumin|ground cumin]] (opt.)

}}

===[[Mise en place]]===
* Have everything at or close to room temperature and a large [[Fry|fry]] pan!
===Method===

{{RecipeMethod
| Spread all ingredients ( except [[Cheese|cheese]])with the back of a large spoon on [[Tortilla|tortilla]] one. Set [[Grill|grill]].hob to medium low..
| Sprinkle [[Cheese|cheese]] over [[Tomato|tomato]] [[Pepper|pepper]] [[Salsa|salsa]]. Place second [[Tortilla|tortilla]] over top. slide this into the pan, and [[Steam|steam]] by using pan cover, or not if you want a more brittle version of [[Quesadillas|quesadillas]]. After about 5 minutes, flip the [[Quesadilla|quesadilla]] to [[Brown|brown]] tortilla 2. When it is all sizzling (3 minutes), transfer to cutting board and slice in [[Wedges|wedges]], as you would a [[Pizza|pizza]] or [[Cheesecake|cheesecake]], 3 or 4 to a plate.
| This recipe can be multiplied for extra appetisers. Remember: you can put in refritos, [[Steamed|steamed]] [[Corn|corn]], chopped [[Olives|olives]]...but this is the core recipe.
}}
===Serving suggestions===
Serve with a good light 'cervesa' ([[Beer|beer]]) and lots of paper towels
===Variations===
Change [[Cheeses|cheeses]]. Medium Cheddars, Canadian Brick [[Cheese]] or Colby also work well. You can also use chopped jarred [[Jalapenos|jalapenos]] or others, but it isn't fresh anymore. Canned jalapenos are milder, usually, then their fresh ancestors.
===Chef's notes===
Only the [[Tortillas|tortillas]], [[Peppers|peppers]] and [[Cheese|cheese]] are constants.

I found these difficult to flip, without emptying the contents all over the hob. If you feel doubtful, use two plates to flip the quesadillas: Lay one over the pan, flip both over, place a second plate over the first, invert those, remove the top plate, replace with the pan, invert those, remove the plate. ''If you can do a better job of explaining this, please do.''
