If there is one thing that has been a staple in my cooking repertoire since my son was born, it’s quesadillas. I’ve been known to put cheese, refried beans, cilantro, and ground hamburger meat inside with some salsa on the side. Occasionally, I’ll switch it up and put ham slices with cheese inside to make a delicious gooey after school snack.

Here are the quesadilla recipes that will blow your humdrum dinners out of the water. From breakfast to dessert, these babies are sure to get your mind rolling next time you’re wandering aimlessly down the aisles at the grocery store.
