Saute peppers and onions in butter in a large skillet. Stir in cumin. Spoon out any liquid in the skillet. Set pepper mixture aside. In a small bowl, combine green chilies, cream cheese, and cheddar cheese. (The recipe may be prepared one day in advance up to this point and refrigerated). Assemble quesadillas as follows: Spread about 3 to 4 tbsps. of cheese mixture on 1/2 of a tortilla. Top with sauteed peppers and onions. Fold over. Very lightly spread butter on tortilla and sprinkle with cumin or chili powder. Place on cookie sheet and bake in a preheated 400F oven for 10-15 minutes or until bubbly and lightly browned. Cut into thirds or fourths. Mix sour cream and salsa together and serve as a dip with the cut quesadillas.
