Can't Go Wrong With Moyrong's Healthy Quesamejias!

A Leo Valentino Moyrong & Genesis Cristina Mejia Original! Just kidding, quesadillas are pretty generic. But our names aren't too shabby-sounding, eh? Let's get this fiesta started. You'll need:

  • A pan

  • A handy dandy spatula

  • About 1/2 teaspoon of OLIVE oil

  • However many WHOLE GRAIN tortillas you need to satisfy your appetite

  • Grated FAT FREE queso from cows NOT treated with rbst of your choice

First, heat your pan to a medium setting. Yes we do suppose you could do this by microwave, but you're young it's not like you don't have the energy to use the *gasp* stove once in a while. When it's warm enough, spread olive oil around the pan. Next, take one whole grain tortilla and place it in the pan. Flip the tortilla every 10-15 seconds, but only a few times or it won't get enough pan time and it'll take fiveever to heat up. You should see air pockets begin to form inside the quesadilla in no time.


When you see said pockets, it's time to grab a handful of grated cheese and sprinkle it over ther tortilla. Make sure to sprinkle your tortilla, not drown it. Also, don't let cheese fall on the pan because then it'll get all stuck, then it'll get all burnt, and then your mom will get all annoyed because you're always making a mess. Jeez. Feel free to add anything you want to make it pretty... cool: mushrooms, olives, tomatoes, etc. Make sure whatever ingredients you add are in season though! If they're not it's all bad. And don't layer these (in season!) ingredients too thickly. Sprinkle.


Now turn the heat down to a low setting and cover the pan because there should be enough heat to melt the cheese. If you see smoke, turn off that heat before you end up with tostadas. After a minute or so, check to see if the cheese has melted. When the cheese is melted to your liking, get like Spongebob and use a spatula to flip your quesadilla until its nice and toasted-looking.


When it is... congratulations you have made your very own quesadilla! No trip to the taqueria needed. Now remove that cheesy piece of heaven and place it on your plate. Or bowl, we don't judge.


Cue the mariachi music!

I loved the quesadillas. The name is also really funny which made me want to eat more. Even though I probably had 2 or 3. The salsa was also good paired with it. Great job Genesis and Leo.

I really did enjoy this. It was super delicious and not the mention simple. I think you guys did a good job. I loved the name as well. I'll probably makes these in the near future.
