ingredients
4 large flour tortillas, 12" diameter size
2 cups shredded Monterey pepper Jack or smoked cheddar
1/2 pound chorizo or andouille sausage, casing removed, finely chopped
2 scallions, chopped
Salsa
3 small plum tomatoes, seeded, chopped
1 jalapeno, seeded, finely chopped
1 small white onion, finely chopped
handful cilantro, finely chopped
coarse salt to taste
directions
Preheat a nonstick skillet or griddle pan to high heat. Blister a flour tortilla for 20 seconds, flip. Cover half the tortilla surface with shredded cheese, bits of chorizo or andouille, and chopped scallions. Fold the tortilla in half and cook a minute longer, 30 seconds on each side, pressing down gently with a spatula.
Cut quesadillas into 4 wedges and top with salsa.
For salsa, combine ingredients in a small bowl and spoon over wedges of quesadilla, as you snack.

What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!
Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.

I cut down the cilantro amount, otherwise I made it exactly as written and it was quite good.

Excellent recipe! I love quesadillas because they are so simple to make but I get bored of the same ones all the time so I'm always looking to try new recipes. I used whole wheat tortillas and smoked cheddar jalapeno cheese. The salsa is pretty basic so you could probably use your favorite brand if you don't want to make it from scratch.
