Recipe #11 Quick Quesadillas!


The cousin of our favorite basic cheese-sandwich: The Quesadilla! A quesadilla can be made in mere minutes and can include meats, veggies, and plenty of toppings for a simple yet filling meal!


(Prep Time: 2-5 minutes       Cook Time: 5-7 minutes       Serves: 1 Half-Quesadilla)

Ingredients:
  • 1 Tortilla
  • About 2-3 handfuls of cheese (4-6oz)
  • Any additional meats of toppings (such as onion!)
Tools:
  • Small Plate for assembly
  • Knife and cutting board (if you add meat or veggies)
  • Spatula
  • Griddle or Pan
Directions:
  • Crease a tortilla in half along the diameter and fill one half with as much cheese as desired
  • Fold the unused half of the tortilla across the cheese
  • Transport the quesadilla near the griddle
  • Warm a griddle at high heats and allow to warm up
  • Once warm, use the spatula to carefully move the quesadilla onto the griddle
  • Allow one side to brown and the cheese to begin melting
  • Once browned and par-melted, flip and allow the same for the other side
  • Remove from the griddle, cut with a knife or pizza-cutter, and enjoy!

Tips:
-Don't flip early, unless you want a cheesy filled mess all over the griddle.That is very hard to remove from a griddle...trust me..
-To add meat, imply stuff it in before the cheese and cook slightly longer on the griddle. Same applies for veggies.
-Serve with salsa, Guacamole, and Sour Cream (its good)
