There were several things I wasn't entirely happy with. I used only half of the chilli and the lime juice, and I'm glad I did - it would have been too sour and way too hot otherwise! Admittedly, I used sour cream instead of cream cheese, but added a little cream to make up.

Nope. Quesadillas *can* be folded and fried on each side, but they can also be made the way you described. My very first quesadilla was at a little Mexican cafe in Los Nietos, CA back in about 1959. It blew my teenaged little mind. :) It was just cheese sprinkled onto a corn tortilla set in a frying pan and topped with another corn tortilla on top, fried on both sides, drained on paper towels, then plated and a bit of salsa placed on top. OMG...I've been crazy about them ever since. We make them at home all the time.
I haven't seen your recipe...no cheese? I think cheese would bind those ingredients together (I suppose the author said to spread the filling out a bit?) so that they wouldn't take off and fly out when you turn this whole thing over (to fry the other side).
