Homemade Quesadillas

This is so easy. All you need is a frying pan or cookie sheet
Whole wheat tortilla wrap
Salsa (homemade or bought )
Cheese
Hamburger or chicken  mixed with taco spice

Lay out  tortilla on parchment paper on cookie sheet
Parchment is my best cooking friend . 
It saved clean up time and you don't have to use cooking sprays or oils to prevent what your making from sticking  
Spread on cheese evenly 
Than spread  salsa on top of cheese
Add fried hamburger meat or chicken
You can buy taco seasoning at any grocery store and just follow direction on the package 
Add a layer of cheese and put another tortilla  on top .
Bake at 350 for about 7-10 minutes or until golden brown.
You will need to lift up a bottom corner to check this 
Once it looks good, turn it over and cook for another 7-10 minute.
You always want to make sure the cheese is the first and the last thing you put on before you add the second tortilla because the cheese acts like a glue and will make it stick together for easier turning over  
I do have cheese on top of mine, but I like less cheese, more veggies.
I make my own salsa with tomatos peppers, garlic, cloves, red onions parsley, basil, salt and a teaspoon of olive oil.
Feel free to add in hot peppers. 
My tummy doesn't do hot spices so experiment add or take away . 
In the summer when you don't want to heat up the house with your oven do this in a frying pan instead . 
Spray your pan with oil 
Add tortilla shell
Put your ingredients in 
Top with second tortilla shell and keep checking bottom by lifting up a corner
Turn over when golden brown and wait until the other side is golden brown than remove 
Cut and enjoy
Make it your own and have fun
Add any tofu regular or lactate free sour cream, more salsa and avocado to add color and the yum factor . Enjoy and have fun.
