Quesadilla with Peach Salsa and Sour Cream

I have been disappointed in the past with commercial peach salsas. I believe if it's in the title, it should be one of the FIRST ingredients, not one of the last.

Peach Salsa
Fresh sliced or diced peaches
Diced tomatoes
Diced green chillies (Optional-I like a little kick)
Lime or lemon juice
Cilantro (optional)
Salt


To make quesadillas:

Heat coconut oil to medium low heat
Add corn tortilla when hot (use white corn or OG to minimize GMO)
Add sliced or hand grated white cheese-I've used Mozzarella, Jack, Farmers and Fontina with success-Havarti and Swiss aren't good for this purpose IMO.

When cheese is melted and the tortilla is crisp, remove from heat and add salsa and a dollop of REAL sour cream if available.

Ingredient Spotlight: Tomatoes

  4. Agreed! How is it that they manage to pack so much junk into commercial salsa? I mean, it's so simple, and with the acid, should preserve on it's own. Sigh, I don't get it. But, then again, I don't have to because I make my own. Your recipe is so simple that I know it must taste good, and like peaches! Thank you for sharing it with Two for Tuesday.
