GOAT CHEESE QUESADILLAS

November 10, 2012

A new method of making quesadillas really has changed my game in the kitchen. The worst thing about making ‘dillas is, of course, the dreaded flip. By making only a half portion at a time there is no big flip and the ingredients stay put in their safe tortilla home. Read below for the detailed description. It really makes me enjoy making quesadillas a lot more. This goat cheese and lots of greens version (with a little spice) would be a perfect trial run to try this method.
