Cheese quesadilla with garnish ready to be served

Have you ever made chicken quesadillas? Chances are you probably have; they’re a fun, easy recipe to prepare for yourself. However, if you’re planning on serving quesadillas for your upcoming New Year’s Eve celebrations, preparing one after another can quickly become a hugely time consuming task.

Making a big batch of chicken quesadillas doesn’t need to be a difficult process, however. All you really need to do is grab a sheet pan and flip your oven’s “on” switch. The first thing you’ll need to do is to make sure you let the filling cool sufficiently.  Remember that it will take longer to make the crispy surface in the oven than if you were using a frying pan. Should you use hot filling, the steam within the quesadilla may become too soggy, preventing it from becoming crispy.

The next step is to spray whatever tray you’re using with oil and then throw it in the oven so it heats up, this will help significantly with making sure that the underside of the quesadilla becomes crispy once you’ve flipped it. Make sure to increase the heat in the oven a few notches, but don’t overdo it or else you risk the edges of the quesadilla becoming a little too brown.

Using these tips, you should be able to make an entire sheet of any quesadilla you like. Simply cook the filling without the cheese and let it cool. Spray a baking tray with cooking spray, preheat it to 430 degrees in the oven while the cooled filling and shredded cheese is being distributed between each tortilla. Fold the tortillas, put them on the hot baking tray, and let them cook for about eight minutes. Flip the tortillas over, place them back in the oven for an additional eight minutes and keep an eye on them once they’re crispy all over.

Celebrities are always releasing cookbooks featuring various recipes they’ve put together and would like to share with the world and their fans. Carson Daly is perhaps best known these days as the longtime host of the singing competition The Voice. He recently shared his recipe for some Bacon “Pizzadillas” that the kids are sure to love and only takes ten minutes to prepare. Here is what you’ll need to make them:

• Six slices of diced bacon
• A pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
• Butter to use for the pan
• A teaspoon of garlic powder
• Six flour tortillas (eight inches)
• Two teaspoons of dried oregano
• Fourteen ounces of jarred pizza sauce
• Two cups of shredded mozzarella cheese

Grab a large skillet, place the bacon inside and cook it over medium heat until it’s crispy. Place the bacon on a paper-lined paper towel and then wipe down the pan with another paper towel.

Place the amount of pizza sauce you would like on one of the tortillas, making sure to spread the sauce around evenly using a spatula. Place some mozzarella on top, add the bacon, a drizzle of the garlic powder, and the oregano. You can also throw in the red pepper flakes if you like.

Heat about a teaspoon of butter over medium heat and use it to coat the pan you’re using before adding the tortilla to the pan with the topping side up. Cook it for about 30 seconds to a minute until the cheese begins to melt and the tortilla becomes puffy.

Using the spatula, fold the tortilla in half and then resume cooking, making sure to flip both sides over until they are both brown. Remove the tortilla and then slice it into four pieces. Repeat all steps for the remaining tortillas. Keep in mind you can also add any other toppings you like, including vegetables.

Today we’re taking a look at a fun tortilla recipe you can serve as a treat or dessert for your guests that also happens to vegan friendly. It’s a completely different way to prepare cinnamon rolls, that’s for sure. Here is what you’ll need:

For the cinnamon roll glaze:

• One or two tablespoons of hot water
• A cup of powdered sugar
• A tablespoon of melted vegan butter
• Half a teaspoon of vanilla extract

For the tortillas:

• Three cardamom pods
• Four tortillas (whichever you prefer)
• A teaspoon of vanilla extract
• Half a cup of cashew cream
• A tablespoon of cinnamon powder
• Half a cup of almonds, roasted walnuts, or hazelnuts, roughly chopped
• Three and half ounces of melted vegan chocolate
• Half a cup of maple syrup

Begin by mixing the cinnamon, cardamom, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Apply the mix liberally to both sides of each tortilla. Using one side of the tortilla, sprinkle whatever nuts you chose, followed by a drizzle of the melted chocolate on top of the nuts. Roll up the tortillas and allow them to sit, covered, for a minimum of twenty minutes. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and bake for ten minutes.

To make the glaze, mix all of the glaze ingredients with the melted butter until the mixture is uniform. Once it’s ready, drizzle it over the tortillas prior to serving.

What types of meals do you like to enjoy during the holidays? Enchiladas are always great for the family or when you’re having guests over and want something delicious that’s also easy to prepare. Let’s take a look at this great sour cream chicken enchilada recipe. Here are the ingredients:

• One medium, diced onion
• A ¼ cup of butter
• Eight ounces of grated cheese (Queso Fresco)
• Two tablespoons of all purpose flour
• Eight ounces of Monterey Jack cheese
• Two cups of chicken broth
• Two cups of diced, cooked chicken
• A cup of sour cream
• Twelve corn tortillas
• One or two minced jalapeños
• Vegetable cooking oil
• Salt for taste

To prepare the sauce, melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat and follow by whisking in flour and salt. Cook for about one minute and then whisk in the chicken broth, slowly. Continue with the stirring until everything has thickened and then whisk in the sour cream. Heat it up but do not let it boil. Add the jalapeños, remove from the heat, and place everything aside.

The next step is preparing the tortillas. Using a skillet that’s slightly larger in diameter than the tortillas,  pour the oil until it’s about a half inch deep and then heat it up over medium heat. Dip both sides of the tortillas in the hot oil for a few seconds until it’s softened and then drain flat on a paper tower. Make sure to repeat the process for all of the tortillas you’ll be using.

Spread a ¼ cup of the sauce on a shallow baking dish so that the enchiladas don’t stick. Put some chicken, cheese, and onion in the tortilla and then roll it up with the seam side down in the pan, repeating the process for the other tortillas. Pour whatever sauce is left over the enchiladas and then follow with a sprinkling of cheese on top of each one. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees, bake them for twenty minutes, and you’re ready to serve.

Thanksgiving is over, but it doesn’t mean you can’t prepare a great meal using turkey. If you’re still in the mood for some more turkey and you also happen to be a fan of enchiladas, check out this great Green Chile Turkey Enchilada recipe. Here is what you’ll need:

• 1/3 cup of chopped fresh cilantro leaves
• One tablespoon of vegetable oil
• ½ a cup of of sour cream
• One thinly sliced onion
• Two cups of shredded pepper Jack cheese
• Three minced garlic cloves
• Twelve corn tortillas
• A tablespoon of taco seasoning
• A 16-ounce can of green enchilada sauce
• ½ a cup of frozen, thawed corn
• Two cups of bite sized turkey meat

Begin by heating your oven to 325 degrees. Using a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat until it shimmers. Cook the onion until it’s golden brown for about eight minutes before adding the taco seasoning and garlic and cooking everything until it becomes fragrant, it should take about thirty seconds. Stir in the corn, turkey, and ¾ cup of enchilada sauce off of the heat.

Use cooking spray on both sides of the tortillas and arrange them on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake them for about two minutes until they’re pliable and warm. Using one tortilla at a time, place a ¼ cup of the turkey mixture in the center and then use a sprinkling of cheese, about a tablespoon. Roll up the tortilla with the seam side down and move it to a baking dish, repeating the process for the rest of the tortillas.

Using whatever enchilada sauce is left as well as the sour cream, whisk them in a bowl. Start baking the enchiladas until the edges are brown, the process should take ten minutes or so. Pour the sour cream mixture over the enchiladas using a spoon and then top it off with whatever cheese is left. Place the enchiladas in the oven again for ten minutes and bake until the cheese has melted. Use some cilantro sprinkling and you’re ready to serve.

Thanksgiving is later this week and by now you should already know what you’re going to prepare for the big day. If there’s still room on your plate for another possible dish, here is an easy treat to enjoy alongside the main course. Let’s take a look at how to prepare tortilla stack-ups using the following ingredients:

• A package of flour tortillas
• Half a pound of Monterey Jack cheese
• Three chopped green onions
• Two cans of cream of chicken soup
• A can of chopped green chilies
• A small carton of sour cream

Mix all of the ingredients together with the exception of the tortillas. Using a greased cookie sheet, place one of the tortillas and then spread a thin layer of the mixture across it. Place another tortilla on top, add more mixture, and repeat the process until you have a total of six tortillas. Make another set of six tortillas and bake everything for about twenty minutes at 325 degrees.

Place the tortillas in the fridge overnight so that they chill thoroughly, if time allows. Chop everything up into either wedges or squares and reheat them in moderate oven. You can enjoy the tortilla stack-ups warm, hot, or at room temperature.

Tortillas are typically made from corn or flour, but did you also know they can be made from cauliflower as an alternative? Because of its absorbent properties, cauliflower is ideal for use in tortillas, resulting in a pliable wrap that’s fluffy and soft. Here are the three simple ingredients you’ll need to make them:

• Two eggs
• Salt and pepper for taste
• ¾ a head of cauliflower riced or two cups riced and packed

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees, grab a baking tray and line it with parchment paper. Chop up and pulse the ¾ head of cauliflower until the texture becomes rice-like, removing most of the stem. After the riced texture has been achieved, make sure to measure it so that you do in fact have two cups packed.

Microwave the riced cauliflower in a bowl for two minutes and stir it. Repeat the process and then place it in a dish towel, squeezing as hard as possible to remove any excess water. Be careful not to burn yourself.

After placing the drained cauliflower in a bowl, add the pair of eggs plus the salt and pepper and mix everything up until it’s all well combined. It may be runny, but it shouldn’t be pure liquid either. Grab as baking sheet and spread the mixture into six circles of fairly small size.

Heat the circles for ten minutes and then remove them from the parchment carefully. Flip them over and stick them back in the oven for an additional five to seven minutes. Move them over to a wire rack for cooling.

Using a medium sized pan over medium heat, place the tortillas into the pan pressing down slightly and brown them to your satisfaction.

With Thanksgiving around the corner, there is nothing better than a reminder of the delicious comfort foods that are associated with fall and cooler weather. One of the most recognizable foods is mashed potatoes. Fusions of different types of food is really popular among new and upcoming restaurants. Instead of doing the simple mashed potato with gravy, spice it up and put it in a quesadilla. The ingredients for this dish include:

• 2 cups of mashed potatoes
• 6 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
• ¼ cup sliced green onions
• 8 flour tortillas
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup salsa
• 2 tablespoons softened butter
• ¼ cup sour cream

Stir together the mashed potatoes, bacon, and green onions. Spread the mashed potato mixture onto one side of half of the tortillas. Sprinkle the cheddar cheese on top of the mashed potato and put it on top the remaining tortilla. Sparingly apply butter to each side of the quesadilla.

Preheat a large skillet over medium heat. Place the quesadilla into the preheated pan, and cook until golden brown. Flip it over and continue cooking until golden brown. This should take 2-3 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining quesadillas. Serve with cranberry sauce, salsa or sour cream. This recipe is a fast and delicious way to enjoy your favorite comfort foods!

Just in case you missed it, this easy to prepare quesadilla dinner is perfect for a Halloween dinner as it serves up to four people and it includes cheese, chicken, and those oh so important vegetables.

After the butter melts, put in the mushrooms and sauté for eight minutes or so. After the mushrooms have stopped liquid release once softening, ensure they’ve browned a tad. Add the garlic and stir everything for thirty seconds or so prior to adding the salt and pepper seasoned spinach. Sauté for an additional two minutes until the spinach has wilted, grab a plate, and set aside the mushrooms and veggies.

Over medium heat, grab a skillet and add half a teaspoon of butter. Place the tortilla in the pan and cook it for about thirty seconds before you flip it. Using the cheese you combined, sprinkle a pair of tablespoons over half of the quesadilla. Sprinkle a few tablespoons of the sautéed veggie mix and chicken on top of the cheese. Top the mixture with an additional two tablespoons of shredded cheese. Follow by flipping the bare half of the tortilla over the filling and sauté for about two minutes, making sure the pan is covered.
