Method

Place the tortillas on a work surface. Arrange a few slices of cheese, tomato, and jalapeño on half of each tortilla. Top with some scallion and cilantro. Fold the tortillas in half. The quesadillas can be prepared up to this stage up to several hours ahead. Wrap the quesadillas tightly in plastic and refrigerate until ready to grill.
