Cheese Quesadillas

QUESADILLA...

" A flour tortilla is heated on a griddle, then flipped
 and sprinkled with a grated, melting cheese
  such as Monterey Jack, Cheddar cheese or Colby Jack.
 Once the cheese melts, other ingredients; such as shredded meat, peppers, onions or guacamole may be added, and it is then folded and served."


I love Quesadillas...
perfect for a quick snack or lunch...

I just butter one side of a SMALL flour tortilla and add it to a warm skillet.
Instead of using shredded cheese, I just put a slice on the tortilla
and then add another tortilla to the top.

...flip it over and by the time both sides are golden,
the cheese is all melted and gooey and sooo delicious.


Sometimes, I add other things like green chilies
but never meat...
meat just doesn't seem right for this .....

Mr. Sweet likes to dip them in a good salsa...
I like mine just like they are.


While I've got the tortillas out, I make a little dessert...

just sprinkle sugar and cinnamon over buttered tortilla and brown until a bit crispy...

ummmm, GOOD !
 Another favorite and very quick dish that we just love is
FRITO PIE

now...my mama used to make a Frito Pie that went into the oven to
heat through and through...
and when it came out...
all the Fritos were SOGGY...
NOT a good thing....

then, Mr. Sweet's Aunt Lorraine showed me how to make one
that has become a real favorite .....




all fresh veggies.





We like to add our cheese BEFORE adding the hot chili...
so it will get all melty and gooey and GOOOD.
Yep...
we like EVERYthing, including the lettuce, to be first
before adding the hot chili....

We always sprinkle a bit more cheese and sometimes, like here,
I add CHILI SAUCE to mine.



This dish, like any other chili dish, is so so good when the weather has turned cooler...

I know YOU have a few favorite quick and easy dishes..
would you share them in a post ?

OOO...
and PIONEER WOMAN has her recipe for FRITO CHILI PIE listed on her site
that I'll make with the FIRST COLD SNAP...


Photo belongs to PIONEER WOMAN

Foodie Friday and Everything Else

GREEN CHILI CHICKEN
and, boy, it was so good...
I stopped on my way home and picked up ingredients so I could make it
this weekend...
I'll be sure to tell you all about it..

  4. You post some of the best looking stuff! There is so many things you can make with tortillas. I like cutting them into triangles and fry in hot grease til crispy then roll in sugar / cinnamon and drizzle honey on top. Sort of like you did yours. Add fruit for extra yum.

  13. I hear long ago Frito was America's #1 snack, now it's not even close. I'm not much of a fan, I can eat them but I'd rather have potato chips

  14. I haven't made that in ages! I used to make it for the kiddo's. Since PH had never had it you have inspired me to give him a treat. Would you believe the man had never had even a fruit salad in his life?? Yep, it's true! :)

  16. Wow, Kiddo! Those are some tempting tortillA TREATS!

    We had the in-a-bag frito thing at a friend's daughter's graduation party---the whole bar in the butler's pantry was covered in all sorts of toppings and add-ins, as well as a big basket of Frito packs and crockpot of chili-stuff. They called them "Walkin' Tacos."

Way too much spam and people commenting that are stealing my space to post nonsense so.....no comments allowed.
So sorry but I have no other choice.
I love my blogging friends and most of all my family but these spam prone people are so rude and selfish have made my blogging not nearly as much fun..
