My world famous quesadillas!

Ok, so maybe they’re not really world famous, but they’re famous in my house!  So I’m going to share my quesadillas with the world along with a few tips for making the perfect quesadilla!

So you can make your quesadilla with whatever ingredients you want- the possibilities are endless.  But here’s how I make mine…

The ingredients:

  • Ez 4:9 toritilla (the BIG ones!)
  • Black beans
  • Pepperjack cheese
  • onion
  • peppers (I used some little sweet peppers that I got a huge bag of at Costco.  I store ‘em in the freezer and pop them out as needed)

First, I sautee my peppers and onions and set them aside.

Then while the pan’s still hot, throw in your tortilla and top half of it with your ingredients. 

(tip: put a little cheese down, then the rest of your fillings, then top it with more cheese.  that way you have cheese on both sides and your filling won’t fall out while you’re eating your quesadilla)

Fold her over and let it brown up on one side.  Then flip it over and let it brown on the other side.

(tip:  to get the perfect quesadilla flip without your filling falling out, flip it over with the open half of the quesadilla UP.  Then your filling won’t fall out!)

Voila!  You’ve now made the perfect quesadilla!  Now just cut it in half and serve it up with your favorite toppings.  I usually like avocado, salsa, and some jalapenos!
