How to Make It
Preheat the oven to 425 F. Season to taste. Lightly spray cookie sheet with vegetable broth. Arrange two tortillas on cookie sheet, then evenly over 1/4 cup cheese.

Brush tops with vegetable oil and bake in a 425 F oven for about 10 to 12 minutes, until browned. Roll the quesadillas into wedges and serve with mustard or mayonnaise.
