Oh, when the saints, go marching in...

You make quesadillas.  I mean, what the heck else would you make?  To me, the Superbowl is really just a time to eat awesome Superbowl food.  So in preparation for the big game, and the guests at the viewing party I was attending, I made a whole lot of quesadillas.  Turns out, not nearly enough quesadillas, but we'll get to that later.  

Menu:

Pepper and onion quesadillas (#37)

Ingredients:

Bunch of tortillas (I used corn, because that is all that was left on the shelf at the grocery store given our current snowy icy & chilly weather situation.  But flour would suffice just fine.)

Block of pepper jack cheese, sliced thin

Block of cheddar cheese, sliced thin

Medium yellow onion, chopped

Medium jalapeño, minced

Pinch salt and cracked pepper

1 tbsp olive oil

2 bell peppers, chopped

I sauteed the onion, bell pepper and jalapeño in olive oil with salt and pepper for about 8 minutes.  Until the onions are clear and just a tad brown.  Set them aside to use the pan for quesadilla making!  Preheat the oven to 300 degrees.

Queso cebollas y pimientas

Using three frying pans on the stove, I put a spoonful of the onion pepper saute with a slice of pepper jack and a slice of cheddar between two tortillas.  

 

Cook until the cheese is melting and flip over.  As I took them off the stove, I put them in the oven on a baking sheet to keep them warm as I finished them all.  

Then they were packed up with some salsa (store bought) and taken to the party.  They were gone in 90 seconds.  No, really.
