Quesadilla Cups with Nectarine Salsa

It tastes really good when you substitute in mangos and cucumbers, but both are great! I got this at a pampered chef party and love love love it! I bought a mini muffin pan just to make these but I bet you could make them flat on a cookie sheet.

Ingredients

4 oz chihuahua or Monterey Jack cheese

3 6 in flour tortillas

2 tsp vegetable oil

1 medium firm, ripe nectarine (or mango)

1/4 cup roasted red peppers (or cucumbers), drained and patted dry

2 TBS finely hopped red onion

2 TBS finely chopped fresh cilantro

1 lime

1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cut cheese into twenty four 1/2 in cubes. Brush both sides of tortillas with oil. Stack tortillas and cut into eight wedges for a total of 24 wedges. Press tortillas into cups of min muffin pan. Place one cheese cube into each cup. Bake 5-7 min or until edges of tortillas begin to brown and cheese is melted.
