Drain and dice the Spam into small pieces. Heat half the oil in a frying pan over medium heat and cook the Spam for 5-6 minutes, turning, until browned and crisp at the edges.
Wipe out the pan if needed, then add the remaining oil. Lay in a tortilla and cover one half with a quarter of the cheddar.
Scatter over a quarter of the crisp Spam, fold the tortilla over and cook for 2-3 minutes until golden underneath and the cheese has started to melt.
Flip carefully and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the second side is crisp and the filling is fully melted. Repeat with the remaining tortillas, cheese and Spam.
Cut the quesadillas into wedges and serve with tomato salsa.
Notes
For extra heat, add finely diced jalapeño or a pinch of taco seasoning to the filling.
