italian quesadillas
Mexican meets Italian! Everybody loved these quesadillas, and the kids said they tasted like "pizza sandwiches." My daughter's friend (who's a picky eater and rarely eats what I cook) loved them.

How To Make italian quesadillas
-
Step 1Assemble: Spread about 1 Tablespoon of the pesto on one side of each tortilla. On four tortillas, place the cheese: 2 slices mozzarella and 1 slice provolone for each. Tear the slices in half so you can spread the cheese evenly over tortilla. Place the other 4 tortillas, pesto side down, on top of the cheese and press.

Step 2Cook: Heat a little olive oil in a nonstick pan over medium to medium high heat. Cook each quesadilla about 2-3 minutes per side, or until cheese is melted really well. Cut each into quarters and serve with the marinara sauce for dipping. Enjoy!! * I used Pesto Rosso, which is made with basil, sundried tomatoes, and Grana Padano cheese, but regular pesto would also be great with this.
