Ingredients


1 link (10cm x 2.2cm dia) Sausage, chorizo, pork and beef (chopped)
3 stalk(s) Green onion (thinly sliced)
2 cup shredded Monterey jack cheese, low fat
1 medium pepper(s) Red bell pepper (chopped)
4 tbsp Salsa, ready-to-serve (for serving)
8 medium tortilla(s) Whole wheat tortilla

Instructions


Assemble quesadillas: Place 4 tortillas on a work surface. Dividing evenly, scatter chorizo, bell pepper, and scallions over each, leaving a 1/2-inch border all around. Sprinkle 1/2 cup cheese over each, and top with remaining tortillas. Press lightly to seal.

Place 1 quesadilla on a paper towel. Top with another paper towel, a quesadilla, and a third paper towel. Microwave the 2 stacked quesadillas on high for 2 minutes or until cheese has melted.

Carefully unstack quesadillas (they will be very hot), and remove paper towels. Place on a platter. Repeat with remaining 2 quesadillas.

Cut each quesadilla into 4 wedges and serve with salsa, if desired.
