INSTRUCTIONS
Source: Joan Nathan, Copyrite 1996 - The Detroit News At least 11/2 hours before serving, line counter top with 3 layers white paper towels. Run each matzo under cool water, making sure to wet both sides. Place on towels and cover with single layer of wet paper towels. Allow to stand 1 hour or until it is of al dente-lasagne-noodle texture. Remove wet paper towels. Allow matzos to dry additional 11/2 hours before using. Heat enough butter in large nonstick skillet to coat bottom of pan. Place 1 matzo in skillet. Sprinkle with a little of each cheese. Top with some tomatoes, onions, peppers, salt, pepper and finish with dollop of salsa. Top with another matzo. When quesadilla has browned on 1 side and cheese begins to melt, turn quesadilla over and cook other side until crisp, adding butter as needed. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Allow quesadillas to cool before cutting each one on diagonal to make 4 triangles. Serve with additional salsa.
