Quesadillas

Nothing fancy, just an easy light dinner.  Elliot will eat anything he gets to dip

two whole wheat flour tortilla
shredded cheese
filling - could be almost anything - cooked veggies (mushrooms, tomatoes, onions, peppers...),
             avocados, shredded cooked chicken, shrimp, beans, etc.


Heat a large fry pan to medium.  Thinly coat with a pat of butter or oil and place the first flour tortilla in.  Add a little cheese, the filling, and a little more cheese then put the second tortilla on top.  Adjust the heat as needed, until the bottom tortilla is crisp and lightly browned.  Flip, adding a little more oil or butter to the pan if necessary, and cook second side.  Cut into wedges and serve with salsa.

The key is to not put too much filling.  My favorite quesadilla is probably fresh spinach, sauteed mushrooms, and fontina cheese.  The heat is just right to slightly wilt the spinach but still keeps it a beautiful bright green.
