# What You'll Need:

→ Quesadillas

01 - 4 small flour tortillas, 6 inches diameter
02 - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
03 - 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
04 - 1/2 cup finely diced bell pepper, red or yellow

# Method:

01 - In a mixing bowl, combine diced tomatoes, red onion, cilantro if using, and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir thoroughly and set aside to allow flavors to meld.
02 - Lay out the flour tortillas on a clean surface. Sprinkle half of each tortilla with cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, diced bell pepper, and spinach if using. Fold each tortilla in half to create a semicircle.
03 - Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Brush lightly with olive oil or butter. Place folded tortillas in the skillet, working in batches if necessary. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden brown and cheese is fully melted.
