2. Cooking Directions

  1. Combine onion and vinegar in a bowl; let marinate for 5 minutes. Drain, reserving the vinegar for another use, such as salad dressing.
  2. Place 2 tortillas in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat (they will overlap); warm for about 45 seconds, then flip. Pull the tortillas up the edges of the pan so they are no longer overlapping. Working on one half of each tortilla, sprinkle one-fourth of the cheese, cover with 2 slices of turkey and top with one-fourth of the onion. Fold the tortillas in half, press gently with a spatula to flatten and cook until the cheese starts to melt, about 2 minutes. Flip and continue cooking until the second side is golden, 1 to 2 minutes more. Transfer to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm. Make two more quesadillas with the remaining ingredients. Serve warm.

Yield: 4 servings

3. Still Hungry?

Soaking onions in balsamic vinegar brings out their sweetness. Just don't use an expensive aged balsamic for this quick treat. To make these easy tortilla sandwiches into a meal, serve them with simple sauteed vegetables or a tossed green salad.

    I made this for dinner last night. I added some fresh chopped basil and I felt like that made the dish. It was so tasty! I let the tortillas get nice and crispy too. Very good.
    Thanks

    As a person on a restricted diet I need to know the salt content in all recipes. Smoked meats are usually high in salt and so I would suggest using a turkey breast cooked at home so the salt can be controlled.

    Good suggestion about using your own turkey or any meat because of the SALT - a killer.

    These recipes are pretty good, but almost always do not take into consideration how MANY people must watch their salt intake. :)
