Kick your "sandwich" game up a notch with a baked quesadilla. This baked ham and cheese quesadilla is the perfect cross between the perfectly cheesy American grilled ham and cheese sandwich and the quesadilla, a Mexican favorite. These quesadillas are baked rather than fried, so you can go lighter on the oil. You'll love this for a hot lunch or a soup and sandwich dinner kind of night.
Ingredients
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1/2 cup Monterey Jack cheese (shredded)
- 8 ounces ham (or smoked turkey, thinly sliced)
- 1/2 cup tomatoes (diced)
- Optional: 2 tablespoons chopped green onion
- Pepper to taste
- Vegetable oil for brushing tops
Steps to Make It
-
Pre-heat the oven to 425 F.

Lightly spray a cookie sheet with vegetable cooking spray.

Arrange two tortillas on the cookie sheet and then evenly top with 1/4 cup of the cheese.
-
Top the cheese with the sliced ham or turkey, the diced tomatoes, green onion and then the other 1/4 cup of cheese.
-
Sprinkle each with a little pepper and then cover each with another tortilla.
