Best Ever Quesadillas

Ingredients

(for two quesadillas)

4 flour tortillas

1½ cups shredded cheese, your favorite blend (I like cheddar with monterey jack or mozzarella)

½ a brown onion, sliced in thin strips

1 bellpepper, also sliced in thin strips

3 cloves garlic, minced 

olive oil

½ a tomato, diced

sprig of fresh chopped cilantro

dab of guacamole

salt and pepper

Put a dab of olive oil into a frying pan and cook the bellpepper, onion slices, and garlic over medium heat.  While it's cooking, sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper.  When it's well cooked and fairly soft, remove from the pan.

Turn the heat down to low.  Add another small dab of olive oil and put one of the tortillas onto the pan.  Quickly add a layer of cheese, some of the bell pepper and onions, another layer of cheese, and the other tortilla on top.

Once the cheese starts to melt and hold the tortillas together, flip it over and let the other tortilla cook.  After the cheese is thoroughly melted and both tortillas are the same size, transfer it onto a plate and cut it into fours.  Sprinkle chopped cilantro and diced tomatoes on top, as well as guacamole and sour cream, if desired.  Repeat for the other quesadilla.
