Chorizo Quesadillas
Quesadillas, those little cheesey spicy sandwiches in tortillas that everyone loves. Serve with guac, salsa, sour cream and salad. Everyone is happy!
I just love simple, quick and tasty food that feeds crowds … it seems at my house there is a constant crowd, and a hungry one at that, so this always goes down a treat. And if you are organised, they can pretty well make them all on their own! If you wanted to make your own tortillas, by all means, go for it. They will definitely add a layer of wholesome goodness to the mix. Ole!
