Quickee Tasty Quesadillas

Mmm...toasty, delicious melted cheese tortillas.

Quesadillas can easily be made at home. I will teach you two ways to make these treats without buying a quesadilla maker!

What you need:
1 Package of burrito sized flour tortillas.
1 Package of shredded Cheddar cheese (Mexican blend and other Cheddar blends are recommended for extra flavors.

This will make a very large quesadilla, enough to share!

**Optional Spices** To give your quesadilla an added zing, add a few light shakes of garlic powder and chili powder. It's deeeelicious!

The preparation is the same for both ways that I suggest cooking the quesadillas.

Step 1. Take out 2 Tortillas and place one on a plate.

Step 2. Add cheese to pretty much cover this tortilla.

Step 3. If you are adding the recommended spices, do this now. Also you can add some cooked chicken (a small handful) and/or onions (thinly sliced) at this time. Cover with the second tortilla.

Step 4. Cooking Options:
Option 1: Grill in a 10" pan (do not grease the pan.) The cook time is approximately 4-5 minutes. Be sure to flip the tortilla half way through and cover the pan to melt the cheese faster.

For optimal results heat the pan when you are preparing the tortilla with the cheese. Then cook at a medium to higher heat for the 4-5 minutes. If your tortilla is smoking, turn the heat to medium.

The benefit of cooking the tortilla in the pan, is that the tortilla itself will crisp on the outside. This will give it the yummy grilled texture.

Option 2. On the same plate that you prepared the tortilla, place the plate into the microwave and cook it for 1.5 minutes, or until the cheese in the center is melted (the center of your tortilla should be hot, and you can often see it bubble while the microwave is on).

Final steps:
Step 5. Cut the tortilla in half, placing one half on the other. The cut the 2 halves with 5-6 even slices.

Serve alone or with a dip! Salsas, Cream-cheese based and some sour-cream dips taste fantastic with this snack. I will offer some dip styles soon!
