This is a perfect light meal...Very yummy! Like many ppl recommended I used olive oil and scallions. We found it a bit watery, but it could be because I didn't seed the tomatoes...I will next time. Will definitely make again. Thanks for sharing.

Excellent and easy to prepare recipe! I added an additional avocado as well as increased the amount of Tabasco to 1 teaspoon for an added kick. Served it with Jalapeno chips, which goes very well along side the sour cream/cilantro dip! Will be making this again for sure!

We had a couple of friends over and I made these delicious and different quesadillas. I had to make two batches, one for the hotties and one for the milds. I increased the Tabasco to 1 t. and added chopped jalapeno pepper for the hotties. The original recipe was perfect for the milds. Monterey Jack cheese was a great choice. Thanks a bunch.

This was very good and had people asking for the recipe. I cut it into small squares and used as an appetizer. The filling would also be good as a dip w/chips. Thanks.
