Patting the pickles and banana peppers dry helps keep these quesadillas crisp.

Instructions

1.

Combine pickles, banana peppers, mustard, mayonnaise, and pepper in bowl; set aside 2 tablespoons relish. Spread remaining relish over half of each tortilla (about 1 1/2 tablespoons each), leaving 1/2-inch border around edge. Top relish side of each tortilla with one-quarter of ham, turkey, and Swiss cheese and fold tortilla over filling, pressing firmly to seal.

2.

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Cook 2 quesadillas until golden brown and crispy, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer to cutting board. Repeat with remaining 1 tablespoon oil and remaining 2 quesadillas. Cut into wedges and serve, passing reserved relish.
