Homemade Quesadilla Recipe

I had made chili for dinner last night and I usually serve it with Tostito’s scoops, but I had forgotten to buy them. Not wanting to make a salad, and I didn’t have bread to make garlic toast and then it hit me … thinking out loud to myself … I have some leftover tortilla shells why not make my own quesadillas.

Ho prepare 1

I must tell you that they came out pretty good and were gobbled up before I could reach for a third piece.

Without further ado, I’ll show you how I made them.

Ingredients I apologize as I didn’t measure anything.

Chopped red onion (2 thick slices)
Chopped tomato (1 small tomato)
Chopped jalapeno (They were the jarred type)
Chopped peppers (I used yellow, red, and orange)
Cilantro
Cummin
8 small tortilla shells
Cheddar cheese with jalapenos (I used 3 slices of processed)
Mozzarella cheese grated
Cheddar cheese grated

Directions

Preheat your oven to 400° Fahrenheit or 200° Celcius
Put all the ingredients except the shells and cheese into a small bowl and toss
Lay out the shells and spoon the mixture onto of the shells
Please note I put the processed cheese on the shells first
Next, add the cheese on top of the mixture
Place another shell on top
Place on a cookie sheet or oven-safe dish and heat for about 5-6 minutes
Remove from oven and cool for about ten minutes
Slice and serve
ENJOY

Tortilla Black Bean Wrap

When I saw the Three things challenge or the #3TC over at Light Motifs II being tortilla, vault, and riverbed, a recipe I threw together one night for dinner came to mind.

I love to cook and come up with new recipes.

For this recipe, you’ll need chopped red onion, chopped green pepper, chopped tomatoes, shredded cheese of your choice, spices, I use a seasoning mix that I got off the web for a homemade taco or chili spice, and lastly tortillas.

In a frying pan over medium heat saute the chopped onions and green peppers. Add your black beans and heat.
