Snowflake Quesadila

Warm Up With Snowflakes

It’s the first time eating a snowflake has ever warmed me up!  Here’s how to make ‘em:

Start by folding a tortilla into fourths.

Use kitchen shears to cut notches out around the tortilla.

Open up the tortilla that has now become a snowflake.

Place a whole tortilla into a skillet…sprinkle with cheese.

Top with the snowflake shaped tortilla.  Cook over low heat until cheese is melted.  (You may need to put a lid on the skillet to keep the heat in and melt the cheese.)
(p.s.  I usually use my homemade whole wheat tortillas and white cheddar cheese to make these…but I already had these pictures taken so decided to use them.)  :)
Isn’t that such a fun, yummy way to eat lunch?!
Oh, and bake the “cut out” scraps from the tortillas for a few minutes at 350 degrees for chips to dip in salsa.
I also think it would be fun to fold a tortilla in half and cut it into a heart for Valentine’s Day, a pumpkin for Halloween and maybe use cookie cutters at Christmas…don’t you think so!?
