Baby Quesadillas

12 Servings

Ingredients:

6 8 inch flour tortillas

3 cups of shredded cheese

2 cups of ground beef

5 tablespoons of diced green Chile peppers

4 tablespoons of diced green onions

1 cup of salsa

Directions:

Combine ground beef, green onions and chile peppers in a frying pan and cook until meat is cooked all of the way through.  Sprinkle cheese, salsa and the meat mixture over half of a tortilla.  Fold the tortilla in half.  Cook each folded tortilla in a frying pan for about 2-3 minutes (until cheese is melted).  Place on a cookie sheet and keep warm in the oven (about 250 degrees).  When you are ready to serve them cut them into baby wedges and serve with chopped tomatoes.  These can be spicy so be careful that kids and babies don’t get a hold of them.  Also warn your baby shower guests that they may be spicy, just in case someone cannot eat spicy foods.
