Ham and Gouda Quesadillas
This tasty snack borrows the idea of a quesadilla from Mexico and Americanizes it by replacing the traditional filling with ham and Gouda cheese.

1 cup shredded Gouda or smoked mozzarella cheese (4 ounces)
2 8- to 9-inch flour tortillas
1/2 cup chopped smoked ham
2 tablespoons snipped fresh Italian parsley or parsley
1/4 cup dairy sour cream
Parsley sprigs

Sprinkle cheese over half of each tortilla. Top with ham and parsley. Fold tortillas in half, pressing gently.

In a lightly greased 10-inch skillet or griddle cook quesadillas over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes or till lightly browned, turning once.

Cut quesadillas into wedges. Serve with sour cream. Garnish with parsley sprigs, if desired. Makes 4 servings.
