Default Quesadillas for lunch/dinner

Quesadillas are so easy. It astonishes me when people think these silly
little tortilla 'sandwiches' are hard to make. They charge upwards of $8
for the things in some local restaurants, made with flour tortillas.

Fill them however you like. I enjoy the cheese and spinach ones; some
people like to add sliced mushrooms, others like chicken or beef. Those are
the upscale ones. I prefer the ones made with corn tortillas, chorizo,
beans and Monterey Jack cheese.

At any rate, take a large skillet and a large tortilla. Heat a little oil
in the skillet and add one tortilla. Top with fillings of choice (do not
overfill - that's over-kill!). Place another tortilla on the top. Cook it
over medium heat until the tortilla is lightly browned. Now carefully flip
it over (a large, wide spatula comes in handy) and lightly brown the other
side.

Slide it out of the skillet and use a chef's knife to score it into 8
pieces, sort of like a pizza. I have a quesadilla baker (it's at the
office, for pot lucks) that does the cutting.

This is a simple, quick, tasty meal. Even kids like these!
