Asparagus and Goat Cheese Quesadillas image

From All Recipes. This one is for me! I never would have thought of putting cilantro with goat cheese. I made this when I happened to have all of the ingredients on hand. Quick dinner with some fruit. I used plain goat cheese, but the herbed kind would have been even better. Yum!
