Yield Serves 4 as a first course or 6 as an hors d'oeuvre

Number Of Ingredients 6

eight 7- to 8-inch or four 10-inch flour tortillas (or store bought)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 cups grated Monterey Jack (about 1/2 pound)

Brush the tops lightly with some of the remaining butter and broil the quesadillas under a preheated broiler about 2 inches from the heat for 1 minute, or until the tops are golden and crisp. Turn the quesadillas carefully with a spatula, brush the tops lightly with the remaining butter, and broil the quesadillas for 1 minute more, or until the tops are golden and crisp. Serve the quesadillas, cut into wedges, with the guacamole and the salsa.

Tips:

  • Use fresh candy corn for the best flavor and texture.
  • If you don't have a quesadilla maker, you can use a skillet or griddle.
