Birthday Quesedillas

The older you get, the more practical the birthday gifts become. This year, my friend Renee gave me a snazzy Panini Grill <3. My sister and cousin got me a brand new breadmaker. I can officially open my own Panini Cart with homemade bread outside the hospital (back up plan in case med school doesn't work out?! haha)

Jerry and I have been making quesedillas almost every other day the past week. It takes less than 15 minutes and the product is crunchy and deliciously oozing with cheddar and fresh tomatoes.

Recipe
Meat of your choice: chicken, beef, portobello mushrooms. Here I used chuck steak, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
Green Peppers (diced)
Tomatoes (diced)
Yellow onion (diced)
Cheddar Cheese
Tortilla Wraps

1. Prepare all your ingredients.
2. Stir fry the steak on a hot frying pan with no oil. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Assemble Tortilla: meat first, then the veggies, cheese comes last.
4. Brush panini grill with oil. Turn on high heat.
5. Heat quesadilla until cheese is oozing and the wrap is crunchy hot.
6. ENJOY!

yum......

A Wrap a Day keeps the Doctor Away

I love to eat but I also want to stay healthy and sexy. Right, ladies? :P

Tortilla Wraps are a healthy lunch alternative to greasy burgers and sandwiches and they are so easy to make. I made this Crispy Chicken Wrap from some leftover Chicken Parmesan I made the night before. Add some fresh ripe avacadoes, tomato, cheese and ranch dressing for a lil bit of flair, roll it up, and you've got the perfect lunch in less than 10 min!

Side note: I just discovered a Trader Joe's in Richmond and I AM SO EXCITED! Got a pack of spinach tortilla wraps for 2.99, not to mention a whole bunch of other snacks, but that's for another entry!
