A quick snack that's a fun fusion of pizza and quesadilla.
Not sure what possessed me to add cream cheese, but it is gooooood.

Note: I normally make my quesadillas with burrito size tortillas for the usual "fold over", but in a pinch fajita size tortillas will do. Just use two of them, one for each half. This is what I have pictured here cause I forgot I used up the last of the burrito size. 😂

Cooking is a hobby and a passion of mine. I love cooking and trying new and different things. The best thing about cooking? I get to prepare delicious food for my family and friends that they (almost) always love! Lol.Many of my recipes are experiments in what I could make with what was available at the time. Many are simply my version of classic and/or popular dishes. A few are variations of recipes I have found elsewhere online but adjusted to our tastes. No matter what, though, each of my recipes is tried and tested before posting and I hope you find as much joy in preparing them as I do.
