Directions
- Combine tomatoes, onion, lime juice, cilantro,jalapeño, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.

- Flip quesadilla and cook on the opposite side when the bottom tortilla is lightly brown and the cheese has started to melt.
- Remove the quesadilla from the pan and cut into quarters. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Serve quesadillas with sour cream and remaining pice de gallo.
