Tonight's tea-cum-supper witnesses a culinary first - making my own guacamole!
Another plus is that the moody teenager of the household ate 3/4 of her share. Not bad going as the quesadillas were quite filling.
While our quesadillas had a distinctly cheesy aspect to them, I will be experimenting with other fillings as this is, in effect, a Mexican toastie ! I can see this being a typical fast and simple to make tea on a Monday evening in the future, using up the spare meat from the Sunday roast, and any other spare veg in the fridge.
