Hyvee Culinary Expert Tip
Chile peppers contain volatile oils that can burn your skin and eyes. When working with hot peppers, wear protective gloves.
Spray one side of each tortilla with nonstick spray. Place tortillas, sprayed sides down on a baking sheet. Sprinkle 1/4 cup cheese on half of each tortilla. Top with brisket mixture. Fold tortillas in half, pressing gently. Grill tortillas for 6 to 8 minutes or until cheese is melted, turning once. Cut each quesadilla into 3 wedges. Garnish with cornichons, if desired.
