Simple Quesadilla

I first tasted Quesadilla's in the US at Applebees. Such a simple and yet tasty dish. And relatively easy to make. Crispy on the outside, with delicious melted cheese inside.

Take a flour tortilla and open it out. Layer the whole tortilla with ham, smoked or normal ham works well. Grate half of the tortilla with your favourite cheese. Smoked cheese works really well with this dish. Although avoid cheese that melt at high temperatures.

Fold the tortilla in half and brush both sides with a light covering of oil. Place into a hot griddle pan (or frying pan) and cook for 1 minute. After a minute flip over to the other side and then remove. Slice and serve.
