Corn Tortilla Quesadilla with Queso Fresco, Tomatoes and Cilantro - Dinner Recipe for One

Dinner time.  Quick, easy, fresh, and ultimately delicious and comforting!  Too simple really for a write up, but I thought I'd share anyway.  And who says that just because you're cooking for yourself you need to go for take out?  Get cooking guys! (and girls)


Ingredients:
2 corn tortillas
4 slices of Queso Fresco
4 slices tomato
thinly sliced onion
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
sprinkle of shaved Parmesan
salt and pepper
1 teaspoon olive oil

Directions:
1. Assemble the quesadilla: tortilla, cheese, tomato, onion, cilantro, Parmesan, salt and pepper, cheese, tortilla.


2. Heat up oil in a non stick saute pan.  Carefully place quesadilla, and slightly press with the spatula to hold it all together.  Allow to cook for about 3 minutes.
3. Carefully flip the quesadilla, lightly sprinkle with salt (does wonders for the taste) and cook for another 3 minutes.


4. Slide out on a board and cut.  Put on a plate and eat (could it get any simpler?). Salsa and/or sour cream would go rather well with this, but I enjoyed it all on its own.

I love quesadillas. My family is from Honduras and they often make breakfast quesadillas with cream cheese. Love it!

Yum, yum, and yum!
I can't get queso fresco but maybe I'll try it with another kind of cheese.
