8 large flour tortillas (10 in)
2 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (one 10 oz sack, preshredded available in diary section)
1 cup of salsa, red or green, mild or hot
3/4 brick of smoked cheddar or pepper jack cheese
1/2 cup green olives & pimentos drained
3 scallions ut up with kitchen scissors or chopped into small pieces
8 oz chorizo or linguica sausage (available near kielbas in meat deparment), thinly slice or drained.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees Take out two non stick cooking sheets. Place 2 tortillas on each cookie sheet, one next to each other. Top each tortilla with lots of cheddar cheese. Place another tortilla on top on each cheese covered tortilla. Put the tortillas in the oven and bake 5 minutes.

Take them back out fo the oven using pot holders. Press the tortillas down a bit with a spatula to set thm in place with melted cheese. Top each cheese quesadilla with some salsa, a sprinkle of smoked cheddar or pepper jack cheese, olives, pimentos, scallions, and some thin slices of chorizo or linguica. Put the pizzas into the oven and cook until edges are brown and crisp and cheese melted on top, 5 or 6 minutes more. Take the pizzas out and transfer 1 whole pizza onto each dinna plate and serve.

***We left out the olives. We substitued the choriza or linguica for ground turkey meat seasoned with taco seasoning****

My entire family gave this recipe a thumbs up. We ate this recipe for two meals in one day.

Enjoy!!
