※ Quesadilla Recipe

"Queso" is cheese in Spanish. 
A quesadilla is a toasted tortilla with melted cheese inside.
My favorites are beef, cheese, baby spinach, hot sauce and onions.
I had some vegetarian friends over for lunch on Sunday & I made an array of fillings. 


What you need:
Large flour tortillas
Oilve oil

Suggested fillings
  • Slow roasted caramelized pumpkin
  • Slow roasted capsicum; red and green
  • Caramelized onions
  • Guacamole
  • Sour cream
  • Home Made Sriracha
  • Slow cooked beef with home made seasoning **
  • Sliced mushrooms
  • Green onions 
  • Black olives, sliced
  • Fresh tomatoes, diced
  • Chicken pieces
  • Avocado
  • Grated cheese 
  • Refried beans
We grilled ours on our George Foreman grill, if you don't have an indoor grill, a fry pan will work just fine. Simply place all desired ingredients on an oiled tortilla (oil on grill side down) grill the tortillas on the grill until the cheese is melted and they are lightly browned.
