Delicioso! I loved this. I reduced it to a single serving and can't believe how flavorful this quesadilla was. I was a little worried that there wasn't enough cheese but it was fine. I also used the full-fat versions of cheese and tortillas because it was what I had on hand. I only have a small GF and everything fit perfectly. Thanks for the Keeper English Rose!

I live in Manchester, UK with my fiance and young son. I work at the local hospital in pediatrics and love my job. I also love cooking!! I have a sweet tooth but try and make healthy family meals, I'm not against some lovely treats now and then though :)
