Easy Quesadillas [barbecue]
Comments: Preparation time : 15 minutes.
For milder quesadillas, use mild or medium salsa instead of hot salsa, or omit 'Jalapeņo' pepper.

  • 1/2 cup [125 mL] hot salsa
  • 4 green onions, finely chopped
  • 1 'Jalapeņo' pepper, membranes removed and seeded, finely chopped

  • 2 cups [450 g] grated 'Monterey Jack' cheese
  • Preheat barbecue to low heat.
  • Into a small bowl, mix together hot salsa and finely chopped green onions and Jalapeņo pepper.
  • Lightly oil one side of each of the tortillas with olive oil [this will be the outside of quesadillas].
  • Evenly spread salsa onto the other side of 2 of the tortillas, then sprinkle salsa with grated 'Monterey Jack' cheese.
  • Top filling with remaining tortillas, oiled side out.
  • Barbecue stuffed quesadillas onto hot barbecue rack for approximately 3 minutes on each side, checking often.
