Instructions



1. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a heavy medium skillet over medium heat. Add onion, brown sugar, and vinegar; saute until onion is golden brown, stirring frequently, about 25 minutes. Remove from heat; cool to room temperature.

4. Bake until tortillas are golden and cheese melts, about 5 minutes.
   
   
5. Transfer quesadillas to work surface. Cut each into 6 triangles. Arrange on platter and serve hot.
