Cheesy, oozing goodness. Add chopped up chicken for some extra goodness!

Ingredients

1 (3-oz. ) package cream cheese, softened

1 cup (4 oz.) shredded American cheese

1 cup (4 oz.) shredded Cheddar cheese

1 (4.5-oz. ) can chopped green chiles

1/4 teaspoon Garlic powder

1/8 teaspoon Ground red pepper

8 (8-inch) flour tortillas

Toppings: sour cream and salsa

Preparation

Beat first 6 ingredients at medium speed with an electric mixer until well blended. Spread about 1/2 cup cheese mixture onto each of 4 tortillas, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Top with remaining tortillas.

Heat a lightly greased large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat just until hot. Cook quesadillas in 4 batches, 1 minute on each side or until filling melts and outside browns. Cut into wedges, and serve with desired toppings. Garnish, if desired.
