I typically avoid as much packaged and prepared food as possible since I have found that it almost always makes me feel a little to a lot unwell. My husband and I are super sensitive to gluten and have found most things labeled certified gluten free actually come with a significant amount of gluten, or at least enough to make for some very unpleasant times for us! Anyway, these almond flour tortillas from Siete Foods are a handy treat when I know I will be in a super crunch for time or when I am traveling.
Here I have sautéed some beautiful oyster mushrooms and garlic from the farmer market in olive oil in a small fry pan. I removed the mushrooms from the pan and set aside. Next using the same frying pan I plopped down a tortilla, added some slices of goat gouda, and topped it with another tortilla letting the outside brown and the cheese melt over medium/low heat, flipping after a minute or two so the other side can also brown.
Once the tortilla was browned on both sides and the cheese melted I removed to a cutting board, added sliced avocado, my sautéed mushrooms, and a sprinkle of cilantro from my little herb garden!!! It is very exciting for me to have grown an herb! I cut the quesadilla into quarters, ate a slice 😋 and thought ‘Oh I should take a photo for the food blog.’ And here it is!
What are your favorite toppings for quesadillas? And what are your favorite quick, easy, go to foods when pinched for time?
