These are the best cheese quesadillas! They make a terrific meatless entree paired with beans and rice or an excellent appetizer cut into thinner wedges.

1 dash salt
3 cups shredded colby-monterey jack cheese
1 (4 ounce) can diced jalapenos (optional)
sour cream (optional)
guacamole (optional)
salsa, on the side (optional)
Directions:
1. Lightly spread one side of each tortilla with butter; place four tortillas buttered side down on large skillet or griddle (may have to cook in batches).
2. Whip cream cheese until fluffy; stir in onions, tomato and salt.
3. Spread on tortillas in skillet to within 1/2-inch of edge; sprinkle on Colby Jack cheese and jalapeno.
4. Top with remaining tortillas, buttered side up.
5. Cook on medium heat until bottom is lightly browned, about 2 minutes.
6. Carefully flip quesadillas over to brown other side.
7. Remove from heat and cut into 4 or 6 wedges.
