Ingredients

  • 8 cheese or whole wheat flour tortillas (8 inches in diameter)
  • 1 large tomato, chopped (1 cup)
  • 1 can (4 ounces) chopped green chiles, drained
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese (6 ounces)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream

Steps

  • 1
    Heat coals or gas grill. Place 1 tortilla on 30x12-inch piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Top with one-fourth of the tomato and chiles. Sprinkle with one-fourth of the cheese. Top with another tortilla.
  • 2
    Wrap foil securely around tortillas; pierce top of foil packet once or twice with fork to vent steam. Cover and grill foil packet, seam side up, 4 to 6 inches from medium heat about 15 minutes or until cheese is melted.
  • 3
    Repeat with remaining tortillas, tomato, chiles and cheese. Cut each quesadilla into 6 wedges. Top with sour cream.

    If desired, prepare these Mexican Quesadillas with lower fat Monterey Jack cheese and lower fat sour cream.
