- Once both sides are golden brown, remove and place on cutting board and let rest for about three minutes.
- Follow these instructions for the remaining two quesadillas.
- Slice each quesadilla into three or four triangular pieces, arrange on plate (see picture) and top with diced peppers and Gunther's Gourmet Jalapeno Salsa Fresca.
