Heat a dry skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place 1 tortilla on a flat working surface and brush both sides with oil. Fry the tortilla in the hot pan about 5 seconds per side. Immediately remove it to the towels, and put a layer of meat, then a layer of cheese and a layer of salsa on half of the tortilla. Fold the tortilla in half and return to the pan. Fry until golden on both sides. Drain quickly on paper towels and serve at once. Repeat, making as many quesadillas as desired. From "1,000 Mexican Recipes." Copyright 2001 by Marge Poore.
