\"Quesadilla\"<\/a>Is a Quesadilla Cheesy?<\/h2>\n

As a child, growing up we always had this fascination snack that my siblings and I could make thanks to the technology of the microwave.  We called it a Cheese Crisp; which just consisted of a flour tortilla and cheese; maybe you know it.  Technically it was suppose to be done in the oven, hence the words, Cheese \u201cCrisp\u201d, but at 8 years old, that was way above my pay grade, so the microwave worked just fine.  It wasn’t until years later that I heard of the Quesadilla and I remember thinking, \u201cWhat\u2019s the big deal?  It\u2019s just a Cheese Crisp folded in half.\u201d  But, the Quesadilla is on more menus and just about everybody knows about them and I still make both to this day.  So let\u2019s go ahead and dig into making one of these cheesy recipes.<\/p>\n

First things first, you\u2019ll need some flour tortillas and cheese.  Now traditionally we always used cheddar cheese, and you can use either mild or sharp, just pick your favorite.  However, if you want to step into my gym, I would recommend you grabbing some Pepper Jack Cheese.  That\u2019s my favorite.  Now the beautiful thing about making a true Quesadilla is, much like a Frittata, you can put anything you want inside.  Onions, peppers, Chicken and beef are just a few common practices amongst kitchens.  You decide how much flavor you want to squeeze from your Quesadilla.   Ultimately how hungry you are and how much effort you want to put into it will also be a factor.  I would however recommend that if you put in any of the above items I mentioned that you take the time to saut\u00e9 the veggies and grill the chicken or steak.  That will intensify the power and flavor of your Quesadilla to the point you may feel you want to die and go to heaven.<\/p>\n
