To save the messy step of cutting these quesadillas into wedges, use smaller 6-inch tortillas and serve the quesadillas whole.

The olive oil called for in this recipe makes a significant taste contribution. If you do not use olive oil often, seek out the smallest bottle you can find and get the most flavor for the least money.
