    Though this is a recipe for Quesadillas, I've turned them more often into burritos, following all the same ingredients, except rolling the tortilla's burrito-style. When made into quesadilla's, not only are they great for weeknight, weekend meals, appetizer, but they are also great for bringing them to a potluck. Just slice them like a pizza and place them on pretty serving platter and I'll guarantee that they'll be gone lickety split.

    Note # 2:if You Can Find Chi-Chi's Taco Seasoning Mix, These Will Be to Die For. but Unfortunately I Can't Find This Seasoning Anymore. They Used to Advertise Right on the Package That It Didn't Contain the "red Stuff". use Other Taco Seasoning Mixes, but None Compare to the Goodness That Chi-Chi's Had. If You Can Find Chi-Chi's Somewhere, Use 2 Pkg's Because Each Pkg. Was About 1 /2 - 3/4 Ounces. If You Do Find It, Let Me Know, Because I'd Love to Know Because I've Been Searching For a Long Time.
