.beef quesadillas.

Another fabulous recipe from Real Simple. I found this recipe at my friend Teresa' house and just had to make it! Try it for yourself and this one would be kid friendly!!!



Ingredients
2 tablespoons plus 4 teaspoons canola oil
12 ounces ground beef
pinch cayenne pepper
kosher salt and black pepper
4 8-inch flour tortillas
6 ounces Monterey Jack, grated (1 1⁄2 cups)
1 cup frozen corn, thawed (side dish)

Preparation
Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until beginning to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the beef, cayenne, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper. Cook, breaking up the beef with a spoon, until no longer pink, 3 to 5 minutes more.
Heat broiler. Brush one side of each tortilla with 1 teaspoon of the remaining oil. Place 2 tortillas, oiled-side down, on a foil-lined baking sheet. Top with the beef mixture, Monterey Jack, and remaining tortillas (oiled-side up). Broil until crisp and the cheese melts, 1 to 2 minutes per side.
Meanwhile toss corn, with salt and black pepper. Cut the quesadillas into wedges and serve with the salad.
