It is a universally known fact that children love quesadillas. Almost as well known is how very easy they are. Frugal and simply adaptable for a wide range of palettes. Take the photograph above. Pictured is a homemade, pimento cheese, spinach and avocado quesadilla. The pimento cheese my children would definitely go for. The spinach and avocado the older ones would eat. A loaded quesadilla is always what I choose.

You just get out your large capacity griddle, strategically place as many folded quesadillas as possible and put the basic ingredients in. Maybe for you that might just be shredded cheese.

Then add the layers your family loves. Homemade hummus is another favorite addition. We buy a warehouse grocery-sized container of spinach. So I am all the time cooking spinach, using it in salads with toppings or grilling it in quesadillas.

Simple. Filling. Nutritious. Child-friendly. Feed a crowd. Quesadillas – quick and quite delicious!

Tricia’s Ultimate Loaded Quesadillas

Yield – 8 servings

Preparation Time – 5 minutes

Cooking Time – 5 minutes

Ingredients

  • 8 large, flour tortillas
  • approximately 1 1/2 – 2 cups pimento cheese or shredded cheese
  • fresh spinach
  • 1 avocado, sliced
Add this recipe to ZipList!

 

Directions

  • Using a larger capacity electric griddle, fold four large flour tortillas in half. (Do not warm, yet)
  • Place half of a small slice of butter underneath each tortilla.
  • Load each quesadilla with desired ingredients.
  • Cook at approximately 350 degrees or medium high until just slightly browned on each side.
  • Repeat once for next four quesadillas.
  • Cut with a pizza cutter and serve.
  • *Note – you can just as easily microwave two quesadillas at a time on a microwave-safe dinner plate. But I promise they taste much better grilled.

    With havin so much written content do you ever run
    into any issues of plagorism or copyright violation?
    My website has a lot of exclusive content I’ve either authored myself or outsourced but it seems a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my authorization. Do you know any solutions to help prevent content from being ripped off? I’d definitely appreciate
    it.

    If you do get hurt at work, it’s in your best interests to hire a work injury attorney.
    Many a times, the injury that occurs to an individual may not be due to any fault of his or hers.
    If you find yourself in this situation and it is a result of another person’s negligence, you must
    consider taking legal measures against them.

    Tiger Woods accident, 11-days and almost as many women ago, must be
    terribly difficult for his entire family, Elin in particular.
    Porn provides an alternative way for women to satisfy their curiosity, learn more about sexuality, and explore sexual desires
    and sexual positions in the privacy of their home alone or with a partner.

    Talk to an agent or hire one before going on an audition for a porn film.

    Woah! I’m really digging the template/theme of this blog. It’s simple, yet effective.
    A lot of times it’s very difficult to get that “perfect balance” between user friendliness and visual appeal.
    I must say you’ve done a fantastic job with this.
    Additionally, the blog loads super fast for me on Internet explorer.

    Outstanding Blog!
