CAMBOZOLA CHEESE QUESADILLA

Cambozola Cheese Quesadilla is really just a few things from my refrigerator that I threw together for my lunch; I had no intention of posting it.  This is really not even a recipe…it’s a non-recipe!

I’m thinking of the versatility of this one dish.  Cambozola Quesadillas would be great as an appetizer; in this case I would serve just a half per person.  This would also make an amazing dinner; if you like you could add some slices of chicken or steak and serve it up with a salad!  A little spinach in the middle would be mighty tasty too.  Ooh, the possibilities…

It all came about because:

I had just a little Cambozola cheese leftover from...

...When I made this this sandwich.

I had just a few of these tortillas left from our taco dinner. 

 

These Nicaraguan style corn tortillas are my very favorite; they're thicker and denser than Mexican style.  My supermarket doesn't always carry them, but when I see them I snap them up.

I wanted to finish up the remnants of this Salsa with Mango & Chipotle.

When I saw the cheese doing this; it looked so tantalizing that I decided I had better snap a picture.

And this was the result:  The Cambozola cheese was divine with the corn flavor of the tortillas, and the salsa was just what was needed to keep the cheese from being too rich.

It was after just the first bite that I knew I had to share all this yumminess with you!
