THE GREATEST QUESADILLA

Steps:

• Toss together the Cheddar, Monterey Jack and pepper jack in a bowl; set aside.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of the butter in large skillet over medium heat. Place a single tortilla in the skillet. Sprinkle a little less than a third of the cheese blend over the tortilla. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add about a third of the diced tomato and a third of the chiles. Sprinkle a touch more cheese over the whole thing and gently top and press with a second tortilla. Cook until golden on the bottom, about 3 minutes.
• Carefully flip the quesadilla to the other side. Continue cooking until the second side is golden, 3 to 4 minutes more. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Slice each quesadilla into wedges and garnish with cilantro sprigs.

HAM, EGG, AND CHEESE QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• Scramble eggs with water, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl until well blended. Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook eggs, stirring frequently, until scrambled to desired consistency.
• Spread 1 teaspoon of butter over 1 tortilla and place butter-side down in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle 1/3 cup cheese over entire tortilla. Add 1/2 cup scrambled egg and 1/3 cup Smithfield® cubed ham to one side. Cook 3 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Fold the plain cheese side over the filled side and flip the quesadilla. Cook an additional 2 minutes or until golden and toasted. Cut into 2 or 3 pieces.
• Repeat with remaining ingredients to make 5 more quesadillas.

QUESADILLA HOT DOGS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Place the hot dogs on a baking sheet and bake until heated through and beginning to brown on the bottom, about 10 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time.
• Meanwhile, place 4 tortillas on a work surface. Top each tortilla with 1/3 cup shredded cheese and top with another tortilla. When the hot dogs have cooked 5 minutes and are ready to be flipped, place the quesadillas on the other half of the baking sheet. Continue to bake until the hot dogs are done and the cheese is melted.
• Meanwhile, whisk the sour cream, lime zest and lime juice together in a small bowl. Whisk in salt to taste. Transfer to a serving bowl or spoon the mixture into a squeeze bottle for a fun presentation.
• Remove the quesadillas and hot dogs from the oven. Spread 2 tablespoons of guacamole on each quesadilla. Top with a hot dog, followed by a squeeze of lime sour cream and some pico de gallo. Serve immediately.

FAJITA QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• Cut flank steak into strips 1/4-inch wide and 3 inches long and marinate in Worcestershire sauce, liquid smoke, juice of 1 lime and garlic for 20 minutes.
• (Note: boneless skinless chicken breasts should be "fileted" in half before cutting into 1/4x3-inch strips).
• While meat is marinating, cut onion and bell pepper into 1/4-inch wide strips and heat in non-stick skillet with oil until they begin to sweat (don't let them become too soft).
• Remove them to a paper plate to drain.
• Drain meat and brown in same skillet until done.
• Remove to paper plate to drain.
• Wipe out the skillet so it is dry and begin to reheat it over a medium heat.
• Take one tortilla and put a small amount of grated cheese, 1/4 of the meat (or amount to suit), onion and bell pepper to suit and cover with another small amount of grated cheese and top with a tortilla.
• Carefully put "tortilla sandwich" in the heated dry skillet and cook until cheese melts (about 60-90-120 seconds). Flip and cook on other side same amount of time.
• Tortilla will take on a lovely "tanned" appearance and become just slightly crispy.
• This dinner sounds involved but is actually quite simple and very quick.
• Kids and adults both will love it served with iced tea, pico de gallo, guacamole and salsa.
• Enjoy!
