Cajun Quesadilla

Dirty Rice is a favorite dinner for the guys in my life. I was making a bean and cheese quesadilla for myself when they decided they were hungry as well. At the last minute I added the leftover Dirty Rice and they loved it!

2 flour tortillas, 10" size*
1/4 cup refried beans
1/8 cup leftover dirty rice*
1/8 cup sauteed onions & peppers
1/8 cup Mexican cheese blend
Cooking spray
Salsa for serving
Sour Cream for serving


Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place one flour tortilla on the baking sheet. Spread the refried beans on the tortilla. You can add more or less it is up to you.
Then top with the dirty rice, onions and peppers.
Sprinkle the top with the Mexican cheese.
Then top with the other flour tortilla and spray lightly with the cooking spray.
Place in the oven for 15 minutes. You just want to melt the cheese and lightly brown the tortillas. Serve with salsa and sour cream if desired.
Makes 1 serving

Notes*
I use Mission Flour Tortillas and Zatarains Dirty Rice Mix.

Old Bay Roasted Potatoes

Old Bay is a very popular seasoning in Maryland. It is one of our favorite seasoning to use in the kitchen. My son even puts it on his fries. He is a Marylander through and through. It is on the list of places to move back to!

                                         
3 pounds of gold potatoes, rough chopped into bite sized pieces
3 tablespoons melted butter
1 tablespoon granulated garlic*
1/2 tablespoon of Old Bay Seasoning




Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Meanwhile take the chopped potatoes and place in a plastic sealable bag. Pour in the melted butter and seal. Shake or squish the bag to distribute all the butter in the bag. When the potatoes are covered open up the bag and pour in the garlic and the Old Bay Seasoning. Again shake or squish the bag to distribute the seasonings. When coated spread into a 9x13" glass pan and put into preheated oven. Bake for 45 to 60 minute or until crisp and golden. The insides should be tender.

 Makes 4 to 6 Servings

Note*  You can substitute garlic powder for the granulated garlic.
