In a frying pan, add kimchi, bok choy, jalapeño, tomato, and gochujang. Sauté on medium heat for 2 minutes. Lower to low heat and sauté for another 3 minutes or until kimchi looks cooked and has reduced in size. Place sauteed kimchi mix in a small bowl and set aside.
In the same pan, on medium heat, place one tortilla. Sprinkle half of the cheese, half of the kimchi mix. Fold the tortilla in half, as if making a taco, and press down with a spatula to crisp. Cook each side for 3 minutes or until tortilla is light golden brown. Repeat this step for the second quesadilla.
In a small bowl, mix yogurt, lime juice, cilantro, and green onions. Mix well, until all ingredients are well coated. Lastly, serve with a dollop of yogurt dip. Enjoy!
