Fast and Easy Quesadilla recipe

I accidentally bought too many tortillas, so I have declared this week Quesadilla Week. I love quesadillas! They are fast, easy and use melted cheese as glue. You can't get much better than that. When we are in a hurry or on travel, I make quesadillas in the microwave, but when I have time I prefer the awesome crunchiness of the tortillas when cooked in a skillet.

I have a large electric skillet that allows me to make 3 -4 quesadillas at a time. If I am just making them for the boys for lunch, I use my large stainless steel skillet on the stove.

This is less a recipe and more of a guideline. It is hard to measure a handful of spinach and a pinch of onion, but I have done my best.

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
