Spicy Quesadilla ๐ถ๏ธ
Description: Very, very good! If you can find the sundried tomato tortillas, they add a wonderful taste compared to the plain ones. We pass the salsa also, with the sour cream. More heat can be added if desired and the recipe can be scaled down to one or two.

Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 450ยฐF (230ยฐC).

Prepare Skillet: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.

Sautรฉ Vegetables: Add diced onions, sliced black olives, minced garlic, and chopped jalapeno to the skillet. Sprinkle with chili powder, ground cumin, and cayenne pepper. Cook, stirring often, until the peppers and onions are limp, about 5 minutes.

Top and Press: Place the remaining 3 tortillas on top of the cheese-covered tortillas. Press down lightly to seal the quesadillas.

Slice and Serve: Remove the quesadillas from the oven and let them cool for a minute or two. Cut each quesadilla into 4 to 6 wedges. Arrange them on a platter and serve with sour cream, if desired.
