1/4 teaspoon Cumin

1. To cook the Quesadilla, either place them in a non-stick pan (oil-free) OR use a pan sprayed with cooking spray OR just a little oil. Cook the Tortilla for several minutes until lightly browned, then flip and repeat on the second side. Repeat this step with the remaining tortillas.

3. Buy Pico de Gallo in your local grocer to fill a Quick Quesadilla (check the date for freshness)

4. ALWAYS drain liquid before filling the Quesadilla or you will find yourself with a sloppy wet mess.
