Bacon Cheese Quesadilla & Vegetable Quinoa
Some of the best tasting meals come from groceries leftover from previous meals. Last week, I took a break from my work and headed to the kitchen to get something to eat. There weren’t many things left because I hadn’t gone grocery shopping in a long time. I was going to order Jimmy Johns, but instead I decided to make something from whatever was left in the house and it wasn’t much.
I had an avocado, cheese, bacon, two bell peppers, and a box of vegetable quinoa on the counter. I thought about making a quinoa cheesy bacon stuffed bell pepper, and then I thought about toasting the tortillas and topping them with all the other ingredients but finally I decided to make quesadillas.
I cooked up the bacon in the oven, sautéed the bell peppers with olive oil on the stove, and then added both to a tortilla with cheese. I then cooked the tortilla on the frying pan with olive oil. I cooked up the quinoa separately, but I’m sure it would have tasted good in the quesadilla as well.
For not having a game plan or many things in the house to work with, I was pretty impressed with the outcome! I ended up eating the leftover quesadilla for dinner.
I love quesadillas! So delicious and so easy. I made one this weekend with fajita chicken, refried beans, cheese, and sautéed veggies.
Oh yum! That sounds amazing!
This looks amazing! Where did you get the vegetable quinoa?
Looks even better than chipotle! Please dine with me 😀
Mmmmm, delicious! I also love me some good tacos or Huevos Rancheros!
These look delicious!!
I haven’t tried quinoa yet. What does it taste like? I’m hoping like some sort of rice taste. I bought two flavored quinoas and one red version. I may make some tonight and put it over these 15 bean “soup” mix beans I made yesterday. I don’t use the ham broth packet the beans come with; I make mine in a crockpot with chicken base, drain, then add them to warmed corn tortillas with kale. Have you tried mung beans yet?
I’m drooling! That looks so good!
yum!
Your photos are getting better and better!
Is that turkey bacon?
Just regular! But you can use turkey!
I’m so bad at cooking QUINOA! any tips?
