Chorizo Quesadillas

4 large flour tortillas, 12" dia
2 cups shredded Monterey pepper Jack or smoked cheddar
1/2 pound chorizo or andouille, casing removed, finely chopped
2 scallions, chopped

Salsa:
3 small plum tomatoes, seeded, chopped
1 jalapeno, seeded, finely chopped
1 small white onion, finely chopped
handful cilantro, finely chopped
coarse salt to taste

Preheat a nonstick skillet or griddle pan to high heat. Blister a flour tortilla for 20 seconds, flip. Cover half the tortilla surface with shredded cheese, bits of chorizo or andouille, and chopped scallions. Fold the tortilla in half and cook a minute longer, 30 seconds on each side, pressing down gently with a spatula. Cut quesadillas into 4 wedges and top with salsa.

For salsa, combine ingredients in a small bowl and spoon over wedges of quesadilla, as you snack.
Yields 4 servings.
