Quesadillas - anyone make them?

apprentice_tycoon

I've been experimenting with quesadillas (2 soft tortillas filled with 'stuff' then heated in a frying pan till they are crisp and the filling is hot - a Mexican toastie really) we've had cheese & chutney and cheese & onion and the favourite so far - tuna, cheese & onion, anyone got any more ideas? I've googled it and the recipes are just a bit too American for what were were looking for.

guacamole, bacon and cheese? Or cheese and beans for that British touch?!

Hi apprentice tycoon,

Some of the replies on these older threads might give you some ideas:

Tortilla snacks?

Fajita / Bread Wraps

Easy Pizza Wraps

These are a big fav in our house, we've actually got a quesadillia maker (basically a round sandwhich toaster thing - seals the edges nicely).

We have loads of different ones,

Tuna and sweetcorn with tomato sauce
Pepperoni, fried peppers and onions
DD2 loves baked beans and cheese
A thin layer of chilli is nice (especailly with guacamole)
chopped sausage and beans
Fried onions, carrots, celery, peppers and courgette with some seasonings (normally paprika).

Nice with a sour cream dip.

Thanks for the inspiration guys :T I get into such a rut sometimes -it's as if I back myself into a corner food wise and need encouragement to get me out. all of the ideas in the links are great but why didn't I think of them? none are really unusual or extreme .....I dunno, brain paralysis I think....

We all get times like this apprentice tycoon.......thanks for bringing Quesadilla's up, I'd never thought of trying them before, but I will now!

Hi, don't know if you're still looking for inspiration. We occasionally do pizza toppings in ours (tomato puree, cheese, onions etc). Quick way of doing them.

Pooky - where did you get this?

We make these quite a lot but I'm rubbish at turning them over to do the other side.
