  • 2 small (1/4 lb. total) Roma tomatoes, cored and thinly sliced crosswise

  • Chili sauce:
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tsp. wine vinegar

Directions

  1. Lightly brush both sides of tortillas with water. On half of each tortilla spread 1/4 of the chili sauce. Evenly distribute 1/4 of the cheese, tomato, onion, and cilantro over sauce. Fold plain half of tortillas over to cover filling. Set quesadillas slightly apart on a 12 × 15-inch baking sheet.

  3. Chili Sauce; mix mayonnaise, wine vinegar, chili powder and salt and pepper to taste.
