  1. I made one of these quesadillas today as part of my lunch. The taste is really good but I had a bit of trouble with the cutting and serving. The tortillas got so crispy at the high oven temp that they were basically crackers (particularly on the edges) so fell into crumbles when I cut them. Since I still have more of the ingredients I'm going to try again tomorrow with either a lower oven temp or in a non-stick skillet on the stove top and see if I can do any better. There's definitely promise there with the taste! [Made for Let's P-A-R-T-Y!] -Dec. 11, 2011. Update: I tried this again today with the leftover ingredients and baked at 350* instead (same length of time) - came out much better (as the photo shows!) :)
