I made fish for the family this evening (post on that coming soon) but I don't really like fish much myself. At least, not cooked fish. So anyway, as an alternative I thought I would try a quesadilla recipe that I found recently.
Summary: good taste poor execution.
I think it probably had a lot to do with the type of tortillas that I used and the small quantity of cheese that I used, but this became SUPER messy and fell apart as I was eating it. Very tasty, but I ended up eating most of it with a fork, and that's kinda the opposite of the point of a quesadilla, right?
So anyway here is my inspiration: http://zestycook.com/super-simple-stunning-quesadillas/
Ease of preparation: 2
Taste: 0
Feeds: 2
So yeah this was very tasty and actually quite healthy the way that I made it (right around 600cals and I am STUFFED).Tons of great nutrients in the veggies and chicken. I think it would be more tasty and more structurally successful if done exactly to guidelines in the directions.
Suggestions / Changes
I used low carb tortillas. Mistake. I also only used 1/3 cup of cheese, which I think was definitely not enough to hold the two tortillas together. Definitely looked like a lot less than in the pictures with the directions. SO, my suggestions are basically to just use regular tortillas and more cheese!
Picturessssssss yay!
