                    You know what I love about quesadillas? They are so easy, adaptable and fast to make. Heck, you can decide at 10 minutes to 6 p.m. that you are going to make the whole family quesadillas for dinner, and still be sitting down at 6. That kind of speed is unmatchable.
And then there are the fillings. You can go simple with just cheese. Or you can spread the tortilla with a little refried beans before adding the cheese for a little more substance in your quesadillas. Of course, diced veggies, chicken, steak or shrimp are good additions too.
But why stop there? Who says that a quesadilla has to have cheddar? Plenty of cheeses work fabulously inside – mozzarella, provolone, even brie …
And that brings me to my new favorite quesadilla. The Brie, Basil and Strawberry Quesadillas combines three of my very favorite things in a wonderful, melty little sandwich.
This quesadilla, which is decidedly un-Mexican and doesn’t need or want any salsa for dipping, is like spring in every single bite. The delightful sweet, creamy, bright combination will leave you wanting more.
