Pepperoni Quesadillas

1 package (3 ½ oz) sliced pepperoni
6 flour tortillas (7 inches)
1 ½ c (6 oz) shredded Colby-Monterey Jack or mozzarella cheese
Shredded lettuce and picante sauce

Butter one side of a flour tortilla. Place buttered side down in a nonstick skillet that is heated over medium heat.

Sprinkle the whole tortilla evenly with cheese. On one side of the tortilla, evenly place the pepperoni and lettuce. Drizzle with picante sauce. Fold one side of the tortilla over the top and press down with a spatula. Flip the tortilla to "brown" on the other side. Remove from pan and repeat for additional quesadillas.

***These are a good alternative for lunch or as a quick meal for dinner. I don't add the picante and lettuce because my boys don't like either. However, if you have some pizza sauce on hand, this will work. I use turkey pepperoni which tastes just as good as regular but makes it lower fat and healthier.

This recipe is a combination of 2 that put together.
