Directions:
- Heat oil in a large cast iron skillet or large heavy nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat. When it shimmers add peppers and onion, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender and brown, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl, stir in cilantro, and let cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
- Combine cheeses in a medium bowl and set aside. When pepper mixture is cook enough to handle, scatter 1/2 cup of the cheese mixture over 1 tortilla and spread 1/3 of the pepper mixture over the cheese. Cover peppers with another 1/2 cup of cheese, and top with second tortilla. Repeat to make 3 quesadillas.
- Wipe out pan and return to stove over medium heat. When it is heated, add 1 of the prepared quesadillas and cook until the cheese melts and the tortilla gets a few golden brown spots, about 3-4 minutes. Flip and cook 2-3 minutes more. Repeat with remaining quesadillas.
- Let rest 5 minutes. Then cut each quesadilla into 8 pieces and serve.
