gobble: Quesadillas 3 ways!

There are many ways to make a delicious quesadilla and here are a few different ways I fold them to make them super delicious.

Foreman Grill

The first is a clean and easy no brainer. It works for semi cold ingredients, or you can warm them on this first, before you throw on the tortilla.

1. Pre-heat your grill

2. Meanwhile, arrange the ingredients you want inside and fold into a pocket while cold.

3. Arrange the pocket folded side down on the grill and shut it until you get nice grill marks and the browned color you want.

Fold and Fill

The next is also quick and easy. It's perfect for when you have a hot filling to put inside (like say some peppers and onions that you've just sauteed).

1. You toast the tortilla on both sides (until the bloom -- or shine -- goes away and the tortilla is white with brown spots and a bit crunchy as opposed to soft).

2. Mound the cheese on one half of the tortilla (you'll need a good amount to get it really cheesy)

3. Fold the tortilla over and cook on both sides to cook the cheese. Cook until cheese is good and melted.

4. Peel the tortilla apart (see picture) and fill with delicious warm filling. Stick it back together and you're done!

Burrito Style

The third is great for when you have a lot of fillings to put inside. In this one, the cheese is just the glue, and the fillings are the main show, so you want to fold it kind of like a burrito to hold everything in.

1. Proceed like always and toast the tortilla on both sides

2. Sprinkle a line of cheese right down the center. Layer fillings in a line on top (works well with chicken strips!). Sprinkle a second layer of cheese in a line on the top.
