How to Make a Quesarito
se on top of the tortillas. Place another tortilla on top of the cheese. Place a damp paper towel on top. Place into the microwave and cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute or until the cheese has melted.
In the center of the prepared quesadilla add some of the ground beef, top with some of the cilantro-lime rice. Add a little bit of the chipotle sauce and sour cream. Roll up the burritos by folding the corners towards the center and then grabbing the bottom and rolling up. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and cheese.
To cook them in the pan— spray a large skillet with cooking spray and heat the skillet to medium-high heat. Place the wraps into the skillet seam-side down and cook until golden brown and crisp on the bottom, turn over and cook until golden brown on the other side (about 2-3 minutes per side).
This is a great recipe if you are looking for a tutorial on how to make a quesarito. The quesarito started as a secret menu item at Chipotle and was later added as a regular menu item at Taco Bell.

Once the tortillas come out of the microwave, the cheese is melted and the tortillas are soft and easy to roll into a burrito. The burritos can be browned in the pan but that is totally optional. There is a lot of work involved in this recipe but you can save time by using things such as packaged taco seasoning. Enjoy.

Here is a copycat recipe for the Chicken Bacon Swiss Sandwich from Arby’s restaurant. This sandwich is loaded with fried chicken, Swiss cheese, peppered bacon, and honey mustard sauce. The chicken is dipped in a seasoned flour mixture and then fried. You can cook the bacon in various ways including on the stovetop, in the microwave or in the oven. I personally enjoy cooking the bacon in the oven. You can either use a deep pot or a deep-fryer to cook the chicken. The buns can be toasted in a large skillet. The honey mustard sauce is a combination of Dijon mustard, honey, and rice wine vinegar. You can top these sandwiches with a slice of tomato and lettuce if you wish. I like to serve these sandwiches with French fries. Enjoy.

Mozzarella Stuffed Turkey Meatballs Recipe
These turkey meatballs are Italian style and are stuffed with cubes of mozzarella cheese. The meatballs use classic Italian ingredients such as garlic, Italian seasoning, Romano cheese, and fresh parsley. The meatballs are baked in the oven and then served with a homemade sauce. The sauce is just a simple combination of crushed tomatoes, salt, pepper, sugar, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes. The red pepper flakes add a little kick to the sauce without making it too spicy. The original recipe called for browning the meatballs in oil on the stovetop before baking them but I cooked them fully in the oven. Using turkey in meatballs is a healthier alternative than ground beef. Serve with cooked pasta. Enjoy.

Baked Potato with Broccoli Cheese Sauce Recipe
Baked potatoes aren’t usually my first choice for a side dish but when you top them with a broccoli cheese sauce they are amazing! The potatoes are baked in the oven and then loaded with a prepared broccoli and cheese sauce. The sauce is a simple combination of butter, flour, milk, cheddar cheese, broccoli florets, and spices. The broccoli can be cooked any way that you like. I cooked the broccoli in the microwave with a little bit of water and drained the water when it was finished cooking. You can also cook the broccoli in the saucepan, covered, and with a little bit of water. These baked potatoes make a great side-dish. Enjoy!

Chili Cheese Dog Grilled Cheese Recipe
If you enjoy chili cheese dogs you might want to try making a grilled cheese with the ingredients! The truth is fried hot dogs, chili and cheese go great on a grilled sandwich. The hot dogs are sliced in half and then fried in the pan. For the chili, you can use whatever your favorite brand is or even make your own. I used chili with beans. You will want to go sparingly on the chili, otherwise, your sandwich may become too soggy. You can use the leftover chili to make chili cheese fries if you want. This recipe will make two sandwiches but you can easily double the ingredients (except for the chili) if you want to make four. A good addition to these sandwiches is caramelized onions. Serve with French fries on the side. Enjoy.

Creole Fried Shrimp Recipe
These creole fried shrimp are delicious to serve for dinner any night of the week. The shrimp are coated with an egg and spice mixture and then rolled in a combination of flour, cornmeal and various seasonings. The shrimp are fried in hot oil after being breaded. For the best results, I would recommend using a deep-fryer but you can fry the shrimp in a deep pot as well. Once the shrimp are fried they are served with a sriracha dipping sauce. If you can get shrimp that are already peeled and deveined that would be a lot easier because they will be ready for breading with minimal effort. Some good options for sides would be rice or fries. Enjoy.

Egg-in-a-hole Burger Recipe
I have always enjoyed breakfast burgers. There is something about the combination of a fried egg and ground beef that I always seem to enjoy. This egg in a hole burger is just like the name says—a hole is made in a ground beef patty and then an egg is poured into the center and cooked. The burger is topped off with American cheese for even more flavor. You can add additional burger toppings as well. You can use a glass to make the hole in the beef patty or try using a spoon or butter knife, you will want to be careful when you are doing this to hold the shape of the burger patty. You will want to use a medium egg for this burger because a large egg may be too much. This recipe will make enough for 1 serving but you can easily double the ingredients to serve two. Enjoy.

Ranch Chicken BLT Sandwich Recipe
This sandwich is a lot like the ranch chicken BLT from McDonald’s restaurant. If you are not familiar with this sandwich, it is fried chicken topped with bacon, lettuce, tomato and ranch dressing. I honestly do not eat at McDonald’s much but this is one of my favorite sandwiches when I do. For frying the chicken you can use a deep-pot or a deep-fryer. For the best results I would recommend using a deep-fryer if you have one. If you end up with thick chicken breasts, you could just cut one in half instead of using four. You can use your favorite brand of bottled ranch for this recipe. Enjoy.

Pork Chops with Mushroom Gravy Recipe
I always enjoy a delicious recipe for pork chops with gravy. This recipe consists of breaded, fried pork chops that are topped with mushroom gravy. The pork chops are dipped in egg and then rolled in a seasoned flour mixture and then fried in the pan. I deiced to double bread the pork chops. The mushroom gravy is prepared in the same skillet and uses ingredients such as chicken broth and milk. I like to use boneless pork chops that are thin cut for this recipe. You can also use boneless skinless chicken breasts instead of pork if you would prefer. If you are using chicken breasts you will want to make sure the internal temperature has reached 165 degrees F. when they are finished cooking. You can serve this recipe with mashed potatoes. Enjoy.
