Chile-cheese Quesadillas

He knows when we are spiritually ready for receive the blessing to our profit and His glory. Waiting in the sunshine of His love is what will ripen the soul for His blessing. Waiting under the cloud of trial that breaks in showers of blessings, is as needful. Be assured that if God waits longer than you could wish, it is only to make the blessing doubly precious. God waited 4000 years, till the fullness of time, ere He sent His Son. Our times are in His hands; He will avenge His elect speedily; He will make haste for our help, and not delay one hour too long.

INSTRUCTIONS

These might be good at a Superbowl party. From Texas Cooking Online:
For the Quesdillas:  Making quesadillas is like making tortilla
sandwiches. Mix together  the cheeses and spread equally on four of the
tortillas. Sprinkle the  chiles evenly over the cheese. Top with the
remaining tortillas.  If you have a skillet or griddle large enough to
accommodate all 4  quesadillas, warm it up and add the oil. Over
medium-high heat, cook  the quesadillas 2 minutes or until bottoms are
browned. Carefully  turn them over and brown the other side. Remove
from heat and cut  each into quarters. If your skillet is smaller, cook
quesadillas one  at a time, using 2 teaspoons of oil with each
quesadilla.  Serve warm with salsa. Makes 16 wedges.  For the Salsa:
Combine all ingredients in a non-metallic bowl; chill for 1 hour.
Bring to room temperature, stir and drain any excess liquid.  Note: A
considerable amount of fat can be removed from quesadillas by  using
low-fat cheeses. If fat is of great concern, try using  non-stick
cooking spray rather than olive oil for cooking.  Should you wish to
turn up the heat in your salsa just a little,  substitute a serrano
chile for the jalapeÃ±o.  Posted to CHILE-HEADS DIGEST by Judy Howle
