This recipe isn't earth shattering! You won't drop what you're doing and call your friends...BUT it is a simple and unexpectedly tasty way to make a quesadilla. The special ingredient? Garlic Salt. Yep, that's it. Garlic Salt. We're just keeping it simple around here.
Sometimes it's that one little bit of seasoning that gives that same ole samo meal a blast of unexpected flavor.
There's a story behind my quesadillas with garlic salt. When I was in about 6th grade, I went to a friends to spend the night. We made quesadillas for an after school snack and she used garlic salt in the pan. I'd never made them that way before, but they sure were tasty. The friendship didn't last much longer but my love of eating quesadillas with garlic salt is with me to this day.
Tortilla (Burrito size) - 1
Colby Jack Cheese - 1/2 to 3/4 c.
Garlic salt - 1/8 tsp. to 1/4 tsp.
1. Grate cheese and set aside.
2. Heat a dry pan (that's no oil) on medium heat that's large enough to fit your quesadilla.
3. Add garlic salt to pan. Make sure it spreads around in the pan.
4. Put quesadilla in pan. Spin it around on the garlic salt on both sides. Heat until it becomes warm. If it seems like it's cooking to fast, ie., becoming stiff and brown your pan is too hot.
5. Add cheese to half of the quesadilla. Fold over the non cheese side of the quesadilla.
6. Heat on both sides until cheese inside is just melted. When you have trouble pulling the two sides apart, it's done.
7. Enjoy.
What I love about this quesadilla is that you don't need any toppings. When I make a quesadilla this way I usually forgo the salsa and sour cream.
Tip - I recommend starting out with 1/8 tsp. garlic salt. After you've tried the recipe once, you can add or remove the garlic salt to taste. For you artistic non-mathy types, like me, a 1/8 tsp. is half of a 1/4 tsp. And why am I telling you this? Because I've never seen a set of measuring spoons with anything smaller than 1/4 tsp.
Servings 1-2 (Depending on how hungry you are and if you're willing to share).

With all the talk about saving the environment and "going green" there's plenty of advice to help you make adjustments to your daily routine: shorter showers, replacing lightbulbs, riding a bike to school or work and recycling everything in sight.
Don't forget about going green in the kitchen, too. Here are five items you can forsake if you want to make a real difference:

Vegetarians know how difficult it is to find a decent restaurant that serves good vegetarian meals. It's great if you live in a large city such as San Francisco, Chicago or New York, and of course, Los Angeles with its sea of vegetarian Hollywood elite. If you live in a smaller area, or you're traveling or visiting family and friends you might need to scope out a safe eating place.
