Low Carb Foldover Quesadilla
What is it with summer and Mexican food? Seems like every cooking website has several Mexican recipes featured during summer. I checked out a few recently and every one of them featured a grilled taco of some kind. Most folks love tacos so I guess that makes sense.

Low Carb Foldover Quesadilla
These 10” foldover quesadillas are plenty big for lunch or a lighter dinner. I’m writing this up like you are choosing your items from a buffet. I have done these with a crowd at a party and laid out all the ingredients. Each person took a plate, a tortilla and went around placing their ingredients on the tortilla. Then they brought them to me to grill. I could do a few at a time. It made a fun time to sip a drink while each person’s quesadilla cooked. I have given instructions here for how to bake them too.
Hint: if you place some cheese on the tortilla before you choose your ingredients and then put more cheese on top before you close up your quesadilla the cheese will melt and act like a glue to make them easier to flip on the grill. In the oven, no flipping necessary.
