About me: I collect cookbooks and love to cook and try new recipes. I tested recipes for Leite's Culinaria for almost eight years. I learned to cook from many good southern cooks including my Mom, Dad, several Aunts and my Grandmothers. My children and husband also like to cook and try new foods and recipes. My son still lives with us but our daughter is married. She often visits to cook with me. We are adventuresome eaters willing to try new things.

Bobby Flay's Mesa Grill Cookbook: Explosive Flavors from the Southwestern Kitchen

By Bobby Flay
Clarkson Potter - 2007

My daughter and I loved these. I was afraid I'd loose all the fillings when trying to turn these on the grill but when I waited till they were a bit crispy and browned then turned better than I thought with a wide spatula and some guidance from my hand. I bought the tortillas that were a bit cheaper and a little larger than the 6 inch called for and used all the ingredients on 6 tortillas instead of 12. You stack three for each serving. With three types of cheeses-- goat, white cheddar (I used seriously sharp Cabbot) and Monterey Jack you couldn't go wrong. They were delicious with the Tomato Basil Salsa.

I made this to go with the Grilled Sweet Corn, Zucchini, and Goat Cheese Quesadillas and it was delicious. I know this will be good with other things as well including tortilla chips.
