This is a quick and easy lunch or dinner recipe for kids. We call them "Macadillas." You can add as much or as little extra cheese as you like. My niece is a big fan...
You will need:
Flour tortillas (Whole wheat tortillas will work as well)
Store bought mac-n-cheese (I use Trader Joe's)
non-stick spray, butter, or margarine
Extra cheese (cheddar, provolone, or a mexican blend will work)
Non stick frying pan
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Cook Mac and cheese according to directions (I add a little extra cheese to mine).
Spray non stick spray, butter, or margarine into pan to coat.
Set stovetop to medium heat.
Place 1 flour tortilla in pan, sprinkle with a layer of cheese.
Spread mac-n-cheese evenly over cheese and tortilla.
Sprinkle another layer of cheese.
Place another tortilla on top.
Spread butter or margarine onto top tortilla (or spray a little non stick spray on it).
Heat until bottom layer of cheese is mostly melted or bottom tortilla is golden brown.
Flip.
Place Quesadilla in oven.
Cook for 10-15 minutes or until cheese is fully melted.
Remove and slice into quarters.
Serve with chips and salsa and/or guacamole, or small side salad.
Options:
Add a little chicken or chili to the mac-n-cheese.
Spice it up with jalapeños or cayenne.
