Thanks to lilbitofange for the photo!!
Mine looked similar (before eaten of course hehe), but I have to get better at remembering to take a photo before we chomp on in! Quesadillas, atleast how I make them, are soooo easy and can be a quick snack or a meal if you make enough of them. There are many ways to make them, in a fry pan, even in the oven, but for me, I like to use the good ole Georgie Foreman grill because I love seeing those grill lines;)
All you have to do is cook about 1 lb of chicken breast, seasoned with salt and pepper, and cut them into very small pieces, or even shreds. While that is cooking, cut up some scallions or any type of onion you prefer and some avocado; you could even use lettuce and tomato inside as well, but just make sure anything you want to put inside is cut very small and that the whole inside isn't taken up - you don't want things falling out. Different from the picture above, I wasn't up to making guacamole, so I just cut up some avocados. When the chicken has been cooked and cut up/shredded, and the Georgie has been heated up and sprayed with Pam spray, take one soft tortilla, burrito size, and spread around your "stuff" - for the husband's, I did chicken, scallions, nacho cheese (you can use any type of cheese you would like), and good ole crushed red pepper, his second favorite thing next to ketchup. I placed another soft tortilla on top, put it onto the Georgie, put the lid down, and in 4 minutes we have a perfectly melted together quesadilla of fantastic-ness. He dolloped his with salsa and sour cream, but you could make your own salsa to put on top or anything else you usually like with Mexican food. Make sure inbetween everyone you make that you spray the Georgie so that none stick.
For mine, I used chicken, cheese, and avocado, and was in heaven. I could eat these everyday! We paired them with some spanish rice and Ole!, had a fabulous dinner together:)
I'm hoping to come up with or find some kind of fruit "quesadilla" where I would use the tortillas, but cut up some fruit and put that inside instead of the meat, and some kind of nice cheese, like a soft cranberry flavored cheese or some melted brie or something, and some nuts! I'll let you know if this happens and how it goes:)
It's almost supper time, but I'll be back later for some non-cheycancook talk - think Itunes suggestions, things to "work" on, etc etc. Enjoy your dinners!
