I've been trying some new things for dinner this summer. What I've learned about myself is that mexican food almost always sounds good to me in the summer and I have a new found addiction to cooking with Chipotle Peppers in Adobo Sauce! I knew I liked those peppers but I am cooking with them every chance I get these days. The sweet, the smokey, the spice - glorious! :)
Last night I made Quesadilla Pie. Check out the recipe and know that you can fill it with whatever you would like. I used some leftover chicken we had, tomatoes, green onion & red onion, black beans, cheese, tomatoes & chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (because I'm in love with them! I'd marry them but Adam snagged me 1st! lol)

For dessert we had Quesadilla S'Mores.

I found these through Foodgawker and have been wanting to try them. The recipe didn't list exact portions of ingredients and I WAY WAY WAAAAY over did it on the filling! Better luck next time I guess. So ours were kind of gross - Chocolate & Marshmallow oosing out the sides, all over my fingers in a sticky MESS!
HOWEVER, if made correctly (filled in moderation) I really believe these easy yummy treats are a great summer dessert and would be even better if served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Happy Eating!

yay! Thanks for the recipes. They look awesome! I agree with the fact that I could almost always eat Mexican.
P.S. I just looked at the tortilla pie recipe and love that it's tortillas (duh, Emily) instead of pie crust. How easy!!
Em I am cracking up that you thought it was pie crust - yep, it's tortillas. I did not have a 10 inch pie plate. I had a 9.5 inch pie plate so I just trimmed off a little of my tortillas so they fit in the plate nicely.
I am thinking of using a 10inch springform pan next time. We'll see.
i'm practically drooling on my computer these look so good...pretty sure i'll have to wait a few months to try these lest i upset poor Norah's tummy. -sigh- someday i WILL make them!
Ooo! Do I have a recipe for YOU! I found this one last summer - my first experience with chipotle in adobo. Mmm. Try it! The first one is the main recipe and the second is the chipotle sauce I make to go in it.
