Grilled Quesadillas
"This traditional Mexican dish is made lighter by grilling instead of frying. A quick and easy snack, you can also make this as an interactive appetizer for an outdoor party and cook to order from the grill."

Me and my son only used cheese in it. DH added sliced jalapenos. We all enjoyed it. Thanks Food Therapist :) Made for All you can cook buffet -
Super easy, super quick recipe! I made half of the recipe for my kids' lunches tomorrow. I used my indoor grill / panini press to make these so I opted to fold the tortillas in half instead of putting one on top of another so they would fit on the grill. I also had to double the amount of cheese because there wasn't quite enough. I made these for Pick A Chef 2011 for my adopted chef, Food Therapist. Thanks! :)
