This was good, but I will adapt it a bit before I make it again. It was burned at 7 minutes -- it was tasty enough that we ate it anyway, but quite black on top. We found the filling very bland, even though I increased the oregano. Next time, I'll double the cumin and oregano, and add more salsa, too; I'll add some cayenne to my husband's portion and diced jalapenos to all the filling. I'll either reduce the heat, or cook on a griddle on the stove. Overall a great starter recipe, but in need of tweaking!

I've made this using this recipe twice now and it's become a family favorite. One thing I did not pay attention to in the recipe is the size of the tortillas. The recipe calls for 8-inch flour tortillas and I tend to automatically grab the 12-inch ones. I realized this the 2nd time I made it and only made 2 quesadillas using the 12-inch tortillas. This time there was ample filling for the quesadillas. And everyone loved them again. This recipe is a keeper.

We really enjoyed these. They were very easy, and tasted great. Right as I started to make them, my boyfriend told me he wasn't hungry, but he finished his before I even got to mine!! I used Pam instead of butter and garlic salt instead of salt. I also went to a local Mexican restaraunt and picked up salsa and chips. I think their salsa is what made all the difference. It was much better than using jarred salsa from the store. I think they're great, thank you!
