What an interesting
twist to the classic quesadilla, I think with a little dollop of sour cream
this would make a great appetizer or even dessert...

-An interesting bit of information I found while researching this recipe, although
Georgia is call the "Peach State", South Carolina is the leading
state in peach production.
Enjoy!
