OPEN-FACE CHILE-CHEESE QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. Place tortillas on 2 large cookie sheets. Brush tortillas lightly with oil; prick tortillas several times with fork. Bake 6 minutes or until lightly browned and puffed. Cool.
• Meanwhile, in medium bowl, mix remaining ingredients. Sprinkle cheese mixture evenly over tortillas. Bake 6 to 8 minutes or until cheese is melted. Cut each tortilla into 6 wedges; serve warm.

CRISPY OPEN-FACED QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro or parsley leaves (or 1 teaspoon dried parsley)
• Preheat the broiler.
• Brush the tortillas on both sides with vegetable oil and lightly salt. Heat a large saute pan over medium heat and cook the tortillas, 1 at a time, until slightly golden on both sides. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix together the sour cream, lime zest and juice, cumin, and salt and pepper, to taste, until smooth. Pour into a plastic squeeze bottle or sturdy resealable plastic bag and cut small tip in corner.
• Arrange the browned tortillas on a baking sheet and sprinkle evenly with cheese. (You may need to do this in batches if both tortillas don't fit on 1 tray.) Broil until the cheese bubbles and begins to brown, about for 1 to 2 minutes, (be careful not to burn). Slice each quesadilla into 8 wedges and drizzle sour cream decoratively over the top. Sprinkle with cilantro and serve.

OPEN-FACE QUESADILLAS WITH MUSHROOMS, OLIVES, SALSA AND GREENS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 500 degrees. Lightly oil a baking sheet and on it spread out the tortillas in a single layer. Distribute a portion of the mushrooms over each one, then the cheeses and olives. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of salsa over each "quesadilla," then set the baking sheet in the oven. In 5 to 6 minutes, the tortillas should be crispy underneath and the cheese melted. Remove from the oven. While the quesadillas are baking, in a medium-size bowl, toss the frisee (or other greens) with the lime or vinegar, salt and cilantro. Transfer each quesadilla to a warm plate, then top with a portion of lettuce right in the center. Serve without delay.
