Quesadilla à la Yireh

Last year in September I got to live for a month with a friend of mine Yireh, who shortly after that moved to England, and only God knows when she will be back (literally). Yireh is originally from Puerto Rico and she can cook some amazing stuff. I haven't learned from her anything special, but one simple thing. Quesadilla.
Here I will share with you how to make a really, really good quesadilla.
So what do we need:
1 or more hungry person
corn or wheat tortilla (size and amount depends on how hungry the person is)
shredded cheese (feel free to buy a block and shred it yourself)
garlic powder (or real garlic, chopped or mashed)
ham, mushrooms (optional)
olive oil

How do we make it:
really simple.
Put one tortilla on a plate, sprinkle on it as much cheese as you like, add garlic (if you're using mashed garlic, you can mix it with cheese beforehand) add ham or sauted mushrooms. Than put another tortilla on the top. If you're not very hungry or have a big tortilla, just fold it in the middle, so you get closed half circle. 
WARNING!!!
Do not stick it in the microwave!!!!!!!!!
Take out a pan in the size that will fit your quesadilla and put on some olive oil. When oil is hot put on your quesadilla and fry from one side, than flip and fry from the other side. It doesn't take long. Less than a minute for each side. Don't burn it, just a little brown spots should appear.
And than feel free to eat. You can add some sour cream to it, or guacamole or salsa, but it's good as it is :)
Next time when I make it, I'll try to take a picture before I eat it. Maybe.
