| *Some* unusual ingredients? YIPES! The bizarre array of

| entry-level quesadilla fans. . . .

While living in California, when my son was a toddler, we
perfected a quick-fix dinner consisting of a flour tortilla,
folded in half, over a filling of grated cheese (white cheddar,
monterey jack, swiss, whatever) and some chopped green chiles
from a can. The thing could be put in the toaster-oven or
just microwaved until the cheese melted. Then, cut into wedges
and eaten by adults (with margaritas) or toddler alike.
As these were not quite quesadillas, we took to calling them
"quasi-dillas"
I still make these from time to time, adding some interesting
hot sauce to the filling before folding and zapping.
Cheers,
