Spicy Quesadilla Spirals

Here is a simple quesadilla dish that's quick and easy to make. I decided to roll them up and call them spirals to impress my family! What do you think?



Spicy Quesadilla Spirals

Ingredients:

10 homemade or store bought flour tortillas
2 cups of Follow Your Heart Vegan Gourmet cheese, Nacho style, finely shredded

Directions:

Move the top oven rack down into the position second from the bottom. Preheat the oven to 500 degrees. Divide the cheese between each of the open tortillas, sprinkling over their full surface, not just on one side. Roll up into a wonderfully, seductive spiral shape. Place on ungreased cookie sheet and bake for ten minutes. If there are any edges that are a bit too crispy, carefully crack them off. Blow and eat! So good. Feeds five hungry vegans.

  3. Hello, ladies!

    Jessica, thanks! This was so easy, that I think it could be done as a snack, for sure.

    But, of course, Andrea. Now you've found out my high school secret!

    Thanks, Rose - this was a fun, new idea that just popped into my head. I try to make things fun in the way of food around here. And, happy Thanksgiving to you, too!

  7. I won't say anything about the connotations of these 'wonderfully, seductive' shaped spicy treats that you advise us to 'blow'. Only because I envision a Norman Rockwellesque scene of your family ooohing & aaahing the scorching hot 'spirals'. Almost melts my cold dead heart. However, there is just one word I must say: 'Taquitos'.

  8. Thank you, Jenny!

    Danie, you're welcome, and thanks for coming to my blog!

    Millie, let them tickle away.

    Seglare, come on over!

    S.V., you have no idea how hard I laughed at your comment! I literally laughed so hard that SR came into the room and wanted to know what was going on. To my chagrin she read your comment, but thankfully had NO clue what was so funny. By the way, taquitos wouldn't be nearly as satisfying...

  9. So naive those blessings are! Keep them that way!

    I will take your word on the Taquitos.

    Have a blessed, cruelty-free and wonderfully seductive holiday!

  15. What do I think? I think I want to come and have dinner with you! Could you feed an extra hungry vegan? I bet you could!
    All your pumpkinny stuff looks so good! I love pumpkins and I love what you've done with them. I'll need to get John to grow even more next year. There's one sitting in my vegetable rack at the moment, which he grew in the allotment...

  16. Oh, of course you can come on over! Tell John that I'm backing you up - you need more pumpkins. And, I want to see your recipes, too!
