Quesadillas might just be my grandkids’ favorite food. They’re
definitely right up there with cheese pizza, macaroni and cheese, and grilled
cheese sandwiches. Given the choice, I think all five of them would happily
live on carbs with melted cheese. When I’m making quesadillas, I offer a choice
of toppings/fillings: shredded pork, chicken, or beef, sour cream, guacamole, salsa,
sauteed mushrooms, and of course, cheese. Most of the time, cheese is the only
topping the grandkids require. Almost any cheese will do, but the most popular varieties
for quesadillas are Monterey jack, Colby and cheddar. These cheeses all have a
higher melting point, making the finished quesadilla a bit less messy. We usually
use whole wheat tortillas, but the grandkids like white. And, if you’re concerned
about that sort of thing, corn tortillas are gluten-free and have less fat and fewer
carbs. Have a happy National Quesadilla Day!
