Snowflake Quesadillas

One of my kids favorite things to do in Winter is make paper snowflakes.  They make them by the hundreds and hang them everywhere.  For lunch the other day we decided that we would try making our quesadillas into snowflakes and it worked!

I don't know why my computer, or maybe it's blogger, keeps flipping my images.  I have tried everything.  Does anybody know how to fix this?

Here's what we did.  First clean a pair of kid friendly scissors (or kitchen shears if you have them) so that they are nice and sanitary.  Give each child a FRESH tortilla.  Stale ones will just break into pieces.  Fold into half and then half again.  Have the kids cut large shapes out of the sides, leaving some connecting pieces. (If you are not familiar with making paper snowflakes, you may want to practice with paper first.)

Butter another tortilla that hasn't been cut and place it butter side down on a heated skillet.  Sprinkle with shredded cheese and top with the cut snowflake tortilla.  Toast for a couple of minutes until the cheese is melty.  You can then flip the quesadilla over and the cheese shouldn't fall out on the skillet if it melted enough, then toast for a couple of seconds until browned.

Serve with salsa and sour cream!
Ready to flip.


THEN, here is the best part.  Take all of the cut out pieces and put them in a ziplock back and toss with melted butter, then lay them out on a cookie sheet.  Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar and broil for a couple of minutes until browned.  And now you have yourself a nice dessert!
