Do you ever have one of those days when you want something to eat but you don’t know exactly what it is? You’re hungry for comfort food, but you don’t want to take the time required to really cook? Well, in Texas that’s when we resort to making quesadillas. (Kay.sa.dée.yahs) they’re pretty quick to make and only have two ingredients, tortillas and cheese (queso). That’s unless you want to get more elaborate, and embellish the simple fair, then your imagination’s the limit! But it’s hard to beat toasted gooey cheese sandwiched between two almost charred tortillas!
The way we make them is to grease up a skillet (Pam works!) And lay down a tortilla (and by the way corn tortillas work just fine too and they are gluten-free!) And over medium heat pile grated cheese, cheddar, Swiss whatever, on the tortilla, drop a few sliced pickled jalapeños on the cheese, and cover with another tortilla. When the cheese starts to melt, flip the whole apparatus over and continue to fry until both tortillas are toasted and The cheese starts to ooze out the sides. Let it cool a little while, then slice it into wedges with the pizza cutter. Now there’s finger food – and it goes real well with a cold beer!
