I figured out that there are 711 calories per serving, if 6 servings are made. (Please note that the calorie counts vary depending on the specific brands of ingredients that you choose to use.)

Here is the final product.  I added five jalapenos
as a decoration and additional flavor.

         I love this quesadilla. The taco seasoning made this so yummy. I must say that this was made with taco size tortillas and I was very satisfied after eating just one. I did add the sour cream and sliced jalapenos on top for added goodness and a little kick.
