Preheat the oven to 400°F and brush a large baking sheet with canola oil
Mix together the pepper jack, cream cheese, jalapeno and chili powder.
Brush one side of each tortilla with canola oil.
Place one piece of prosciutto on the work surface. Place one tortilla, oil side down on top of the prosciutto. Dollop some of the cream cheese mixture onto the tortilla and spread it out evenly to within a ¼ – inch of the edges. Fold the tortilla in half, so that the prosciutto ends up enveloping the tortilla around its center. Place on the baking sheet. Continue with the remaining tortillas.
Place the baking sheet in the middle rack of the oven and cook for 8-10 minutes until the tortillas just begin to brown, the cheese is melted and prosciutto is crispy. Remove the sheet pan from the oven and allow the quesadillas to cool slightly.
Transfer quesadilla to a cutting board and cut into wedges. Serve with salsa.
Tip: Add a 1 cup of black beans or a 1 cup of chopped chicken to the cheese mixture to make this snack into a meal.
Note: Any type of melty cheese will work but one with a little kick of heat is best.
