El Cheapo Quesadilla

"The DH and i love mexican food, but due to budget we don't get to go out to eat for it much so i've been trying to make my own versions at home. These turned out really good, we even eat then when money isn't tight now!! I got all the ingredients at aldi's which is why i call them el cheapo;) I make these in my grill pan but you can use a regular frying pan with good results, also switch up the meat and cheese for different flavors.. hope you like them."

  1. Made this for DD's lunch and she loved it. I added a few bacon bits to one and she liked that too. Simple and quick, just what we need on the lunch hour. Made for Spring PAC 2014, thanks!
     
  2. This was very easy to do. Quick lunch that was very yummy. I almost prefered it without salsa. I used mexican tortilla, cheddar cheese. Thanks Onegoofydevil :) Made for PAC Spring 2010 http://www.recipezaar.com/bb/viewtopic.zsp?t=327498&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0

I am 44 years old.. and love to cook and try new recipes:) I like to tinker with recipes and never make a recipe the same way twice.lol thank goodness hubby is willing taste tester. I am disabled with a few different medical problems, the biggest being Chrohn's diesase, so i have way too much time to spend browsing around Zaar I'm a HUGE animal lover with 3 beautiful very spoiled furrbaby kitty's. Max is our oldest, he is 5 years old with the most adorable little pink nose and the softest furr!! Then there is Smokey, he is 4, he looks like a baby black panther ive been told, but he has the wimpiest little meow you ever heard! Last but not least our youngest Ally she is a year and a half old, we found her outside our back door when we were down in GA, she was so tiny, 1.5 lbs to be exact, she is an adorable tuxedo kitty who will eat just about anything but especially likes fruit and green beans, and plain potato chips!! [IMG]http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g146/smokeybones65/HPIM0533.jpg[/IMG] I absolutely cannot tolerate anyone who abuses or mistreats ANY animal, and i think there needs to be stiffer penalties for those cowards that pray on defenseless animals! THANK YOU !!!! to whomever gifted me a premium membership, I have always wanted to get one but being on disability money is tight!!! You are an angel whoever you are and i will get really good use of your wonderful gift :)
