Wash and dry all produce. Core, deseed, and dice @poblano pepper{2}. Halve, peel, and thinly slice @red onion{2}; mince a few slices until you have 2 tbsp. Dice @roma tomato{4}. Roughly chop @cilantro{½%oz}. Quarter @lime{2}.

In a #small bowl{}, combine minced onion, half the tomatoes, half the cilantro, and juice from half the lime. Season with @salt{} and @black pepper{}. In a separate #small bowl{}, combine half the @sour cream{8%tbsp} and 1/4 tsp of @Southwest Spice Blend{2%tbsp}; season with salt and pepper. Add water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency. For 4 servings: use 1/2 tsp of the spice blend.

Heat a drizzle of @olive oil{2%tbsp} in a #large pan{} over medium-high heat. Add poblano, sliced onion, and a big pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and tender, ~{8%minutes}. Stir in remaining tomatoes, remaining spice blend, and @water{2%tbsp}. Cook, stirring, until tomatoes are soft and mixture is thickened. Remove from heat; stir in remaining cilantro and sour cream. Season with salt and pepper.

Place @flour tortillas{4%unit} on a clean work surface. Sprinkle one half of each tortilla with @Mexican cheese blend{1%cup} and top with veggie filling, then sprinkle with @pepper jack cheese{1%cup}. Fold tortillas in half to create quesadillas.

Wash out the pan used for the filling; return to medium heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Add quesadillas and cook until golden brown and cheeses melt, ~{3%minutes} per side (work in batches if needed).

Cut quesadillas into wedges. Top with @guacamole{8%tbsp} and remaining salsa. Drizzle with crema. Serve with lime wedges.
