When the day has
flown by and it's 8pm and you haven't had dinner yet … what do you eat? For me,
that answer is easy. I make a quesadilla! They are seriously the simplest but
delicious dinner ever. You can make them many different ways too.
Ingredients:
- Tortilla (white, whole wheat, corn, whatever you like)
- Shredded Cheese (mozzarella, cheddar, taco blend, whatever you like)
- Random leftovers from the fridge (peppers, onions, beef, chicken, beans… )
- Oil (coconut, olive, or butter)
Like I said above,
it's a simple dish but I will lay out my strategy for the best quesadilla.
Coconut oil. That's it. It will make for a nice
and crispy tortilla for your quesadilla. Coconut oil is solid at room
temperature so scoop out about 1/2 tablespoon into a fry pan on medium heat.
Let it melt and put in the tortilla. Cover the tortilla in shredded cheese then
add your other fillings. Once the cheese begins to melt, fold the tortilla in
half. Cook just until the sides become light brown. Flip to the other side if
needed. Serve hot with sides such as salsa, plain Greek yogurt (or sour cream),
or guacamole.
Some filling
combinations are listed below:
- Cheddar cheese, sautéed peppers and onions (optional add some taco seasoning, homemade recipe coming to the blog soon!)
- Cheddar cheese, black beans
- Mozzarella cheese, cooked chicken (optional garlic)
- Cheddar cheese, cooked and seasoned ground beef
Really the
combinations are endless! The best is just to use whatever is leftover in the
refrigerator.
So what is your
quick meal?
