Hey friends!! I have missed you. I hope you have missed me too {wink} I feel like a lot of time has passed since I shared a recipe, but it wasn’t that long ago! That happens when you really enjoy what you do. These past days I was working on the special photography project I mentioned before. I loved it. It was intense though. I had to do the whole process, from planning the recipe, cooking, shooting, and editing. My family was happy since they enjoyed an early Thanksgiving feast, from Citrus-Aji Amarillo (Peruvian yellow pepper) Turkey to everything pumpkin, including a pumpkin alfajores to die for. But coming back to our present times I realized that two big Mexican celebrations are around the corner: El Día del Niño (Children’s Day) and Cinco de Mayo. So I decided to share with you these super delicious and Cheesy Quinoa Quesadillas!! To make the filling of these succulent quesadillas I used Herdez® products! I loved the big glass bottle. It’s pretty convenient, in my opinion, since I can use exactly the amount I need and store the rest in the refrigerator. They offer a wide array of great products so take a minute and check them out. As you may, or may not know, I always try to camouflage quinoa, or any other nutritious ingredient, in salads, casseroles, or whatever. I have to confess that I don’t get as excited about these “healthy” recipes as I do with any dessert, but I recognize the importance of making healthy changes in our life. I really really really hope I didn’t ruin the “healthy” aspect of this recipe by adding so much cheese. I mean… they have quinoa and beans, and they are meatless so they’re still “healthy”, right? I ♡ to drown my quesadillas in a pool of yummy sauce, and Guasacaca sauce sounded perfect!! If you are not familiar Guasacaca is a Venezuelan sauce made of avocados. It is compatible with, I mean, literally, everything … believe me everything!!! I always have a jar in my refrigerator ready to eat. Find recipe here. These Cheesy Quinoa Quesadillas are super easy to make, no-fuss. Plus, they are perfectly crisp and amazingly cheesy. An absolute must for any celebration coming up or just for those busy weeknights! It’s simply quesadilla heaven.
