Difficulty: Easy
Bean & Cheese Quesadillas
I had a container of frozen taco meat, beans & salsa in the freezer. I reheated that in the microwave & added to my quesadillas. Lightly butter white flour tortillas & pan grill on one side. Flip & add beans & cheese (gouda & Monterrey jack) and a bit of bottled taco sauce (Taco Bell). Fold in half. Grill each 1/2 side.
Served with microwave-in-the-bag corn & side salad (w/fat free Catalina dressing).
Spanish Rice
- sautee 1/2 medium onion in 2 T evoo until 1/2 cooked over medium high heat
- add 2 c. uncooked white ricecontinue to sautee until the rice begins to turn golden
- add one clove crushed garlic
- add 2 cups of water seasoned with a Sazón seasoning packet, 3 oz tomato paste, T Spanish rice seasoning (I used Fiesta brand, widely available in Texas)
- bring water & rice to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer
- continue to cook until all the water is absorbed, about 20 minutes
Leftover potential: Rice, beans & corn reheat great in the microwave. To reheat leftover quesadillas: microwave on 1/2 power until no longer fridge cold. Then cook in a toaster oven @ 400F until cooked through & crisp. Or cook on the stove top in a non-stick skillet. You can just nuke, but they lose the good texture & flavor.
