QUESADILLAS FOR ONE OR TWO
Nice quick lunch for yourself or for you and your honey. Recipe can be cut in half to make for one. We like to add 1 or 2 of the variations, there's always something left over in the fridge to be used up, use your imagination. (the oil can be replaced with veggie cooking spray, it works just as well) Our standard is deli chicken slices, a mix of cheddar and parmesan, green pepper sticks, and chopped green onions and fresh cilantro, served with hot salsa. Yummy!!!

Tips:
- Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is the star of the show in a quesadilla, so it's important to use a good quality cheese that melts well. Some good options include cheddar, Monterey Jack, and Oaxaca cheese.
- Don't overcrowd the quesadilla: When you're assembling the quesadilla, be careful not to overcrowd it with fillings. Too much filling will make it difficult to fold and cook evenly.
- Cook the quesadilla over medium heat: Cooking the quesadilla over medium heat will help to prevent the cheese from burning and the tortilla from getting too crispy.
- Flip the quesadilla frequently: Be sure to flip the quesadilla frequently while it's cooking so that it cooks evenly on both sides.
- Let the quesadilla rest before cutting: Once the quesadilla is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before cutting it. This will help the cheese to set and make it easier to cut.
Conclusion:
Quesadillas are a delicious and versatile dish that can be made with a variety of fillings. They're perfect for a quick and easy meal or snack, and they're also great for parties and potlucks. Follow these tips to make the best quesadillas possible. A few of my favorites are the Bacon Chicken Quesadilla and the Pulled Pork Quesadilla. The possibilities are endless!
