Easy Salsa Quesadillas

 Submitted by Chelsey
Recipe from Real Simple 

This is a fast easy meal that is healthy and oh so good! I made this tonight and it will be one that we make often!! I also made a cabbage salad that goes perfect with this!!

Ingredients:
Bag of  tortillas
2 cups (8 ounces) grated Monterey Jack Cheese
1 Jar of salsa, drained
Several leaves of fresh basil or cilantro (I put both)
4 teaspoons olive oil
( I added a little bit of cooked chicken also!!)

Arrange four of the tortillas on a work surface. Divide the cheese, salsa, and herbs among the tortillas, leaving a one inch border. Top with a tortilla. Heat the oil in the skillet or pan over medium heat. Cook one quesadilla at a time, turning once, until the tortillas are crisp and golden, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board. Repeat with the remaining quesadillas. cut into wedges and serve.

*to save time, broil the quesadillas all together.Arrange them on a baking sheet, brush the tops with olive oil, and broil turning once, until cheese melts and the tortillas are golden brown.
