Method
Using a sharp knife or kitchen shears, cut the tortilla halfway through on one side.
Add your fillings to each quadrant of the circle, ending with the cheese. Sprinkle with seasoning blend.
Start from one of your cut corners, fold each corner in so each filling has its own little pocket.
Cook it on a heated skillet on both sides (or in a panini pan) until browned and cheese is melted.
Enjoy a warm melty quesadilla with all the ingredients in every bite!
