For my offering today I have a homestyle quesadilla. Bill used to make cheese quesadillas on a regular basis in our early days together. We would enjoy them as a snack. They were simple but satisfying and delicious.

Here I used both queso dip and shredded cheese to make them extra cheesy. I also added ground beef with taco seasoning and some veggies, for a more substantial entree. And topped them with sour cream, salsa and slices of avocado. And a few slices of pickled jalapeño peppers. Because we’re fans of chilies here.
