Sprinkle a little more than 1/4 cup cheese on top of tortilla, followed by some olives, avocado, and hot pepper sauce. Place another tortilla on top to make a sandwich; cover with a lid. Cook for 1 minute, then flip the quesadilla. Cook until cheese has melted on the inside; transfer quesadilla to a plate. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
