Pita Quesadillas

 

Here’s a quick and easy recipe for an appetizer, snack or even a light meal.
It’s made with pita bread and filled with quesadilla goodness.
Which of course includes cheese….two kinds even.

These quesadillas have cheese on the outside as well as the inside.
They not only taste wonderful but they add so much color to an appetizer plate.
The only thing is that they disappear quickly so you may need to make extra.
And for sure make extra for the chef.

Pita bread rounds, cheddar and jack cheese, green onion, tomato, cilantro, salsa, lime….and for extra pops of flavor…

nacho jalapeno slices (from a jar), and garlic powder.
Here’s how to make it.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.


Cut the pita bread into quarters.

Carefully open each pita quarter.

Inside each pita quarter, add the cheddar cheese…


…green onion,


tomatoes, and a nacho jalapeno slice,

and salsa.

On the top of each pita quarter…

add the jack cheese,


cilantro,

and garlic powder.

Set each pita quarter on a cookie sheet…

…and bake in a preheated oven just long enough for the cheese to melt (about 5 minutes).
