Grilled Chipotle and Cheese Quesadillas with Fresh Peach Salsa

Quesadillas
Eight 8″ thick flour tortillas (some brands are thicker than others)
1 cup sour cream
1 chipotle pepper, finely chopped
1 bunch green onions, thinly sliced
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or a combination of cheddar and Monterey Jack)

Place 4 tortillas on a work surface. In a bowl, combine the sour cream, chipotle pepper, green onions, and cheese. Divide the mixture among the 4 tortillas, top with remaining 4 tortillas, and place over LOW heat of grill. Cover the grill, and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until cheese is melted inside and the tortillas are crisp outside. Remove from heat, cut into quarters and serve at once with salsa of choice. Makes 4 quesadillas.
