QUESADILLAS (Mexican) 
3 (6 inch) tortillas
Oil
1 c. (4 oz.) shredded Monterey Jack cheese with jalapeno peppers
1/2 c. sharp Cheddar cheese
1/2 c. fine chopped tomatoes
Cilantro leaves (optional)

Fry each tortilla in 1/4 inch of hot oil until crisp and golden, turning once, drain. Place tortillas on paper towels. Sprinkle with combined cheeses; top with tomatoes. Microwave on high 1 to 1 1/2 minutes or until cheeses are melted. Cut each tortilla into quarters; top with cilantro leaves. Serve warm. For conventional oven: Prepare tortillas as directed. Place on cookie sheet; continue as directed except for microwaving. Bake at 350 degrees 10 minutes or until cheeses are melted.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.
