When you’re looking for something quick, easy, and absolutely delicious to make, just whip up some beef quesadillas like Chef Mario does for our residents! Growing up in Mexico, there were always tortillas on hand, and Mario learned that quesadillas are an easy but oh-so-good option for lunch or dinner. Even kids love them! While Chef Mario usually adds in bell pepper, you can add just about anything you like to your quesadilla. They are so delicious dipped in salsa, sour cream, or guacamole.
