Ingredients

| 2 | tablespoons olive oil |
| 2 | large flour tortillas (two 10-inch tortillas) |

Instructions
| 1. | In a medium nonreactive skillet, combine sauerkraut and water. Heat gently until the liquid has evaporated, being careful not to let the sauerkraut stick to the pan. Remove from heat. |

| 7. | Sprinkle each tortilla with another 1/3 cup of cheese. |
| 8. | Fold the tortilla over the filled half and press down gently. |
| 9. | If desired, top the quesadillas with additional grated cheese. |
| 10. | Bake the quesadillas for 10-12 minutes until the top and bottom are slightly golden. |
| 11. | Transfer the quesadillas to a wire rack to cool for about 10 minutes. Then, slide them onto a cutting board and cut them into halves or quarters. |
