Anyway, while I've been on bedrest, my poor Mr. Man has been doing most everything in the house, as well as going to work on work days. One of the many chores he's had to undertake is most of the cooking. Thankfully, I have several quick and easy recipes, meal ideas, and snack ideas that he's been able to employ, without resorting to boxed/prepackaged junk food (most of the time).
One such meal is quesadillas.
Few meals at our house are truly simple, as most people would define simple. We have three children who are gluten-free, and our youngest is also severely allergic to dairy, tropical fruits, and tapioca, among other things.
We start quesadilla meals by making peanut-butter-and-fruit wraps for our youngest daughter. We make these on corn tortillas, sometimes fried, sometimes not. She doesn't care either way.
Next, we do the quesadillas for the other gluten-intolerant children. They also get the corn tortillas. Last, we do them for my hubby and I and our older children, typically with whole wheat tortillas. Simply put them in your skillet with the filling of choice--over medium-high heat--and cook for a few minutes until the cheese melts or your filling is warm, flipping once or twice.
When we need something super-fast, we just put in cheese. Sometimes we do them like pizzas, with pizza sauce, pepperonis, and mozzarella cheese. Tonight, my hubby made simple ham-and-cheese ones.
They're also good with scrambled eggs, green peppers, and bacon for breakfast ones. Great dipped in salsa or by themselves, they're easy to wrap up and take on-the-go. They literally take minutes to make, and everybody loves them!
What interesting fillings do you like in your quesadillas?
