Ham and Gouda Quesadillas

It is snack season! Right? Bowl games and for me in February I have an Oscar party. This is one of my favorite finger foods and it's easy too!

Tub garlic and herb spreadable cream cheese (You will have leftovers)
8 Tortillas (Flour are best, but you can use a very soft corn tortilla if you are needing a gluten free alternative)
16 Thin slices of cooked ham (To you preference- for this I like Black Forrest)
1 Cup shredded Gouda cheese (Monterey Jack is a cheaper substitute, but the Gouda is worth it!)
1 Jar sun-dried tomato pesto (You will have leftovers)

Spread 4 tortillas with cream cheese.

Top with 2 slices of ham and 1/4 cup of Gouda.

Spread remaining tortillas with about 2 tsp of the pesto each and put the pesto side down on top of the already assembled tortillas

Spray fry pan with non stick spray (olive oil preferably) and heat the pan over medium heat. Add a quesadilla to the pan and spray the top lightly with the non stick spray. Cook quesadilla 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cheese is melted. Repeat with remaining quesadillas.

Cut each quesadilla into 8 wedges with a pizza cutter and serve warm.
