Use the Tortilla Recipe mentioned a few posts back in conjunction with these quesadillas. If you are short on time, you can use store made tortillas. s
Broccoli and Cheddar cheese:
Fold a tortilla in half. Fill with steamed Broccoli (I Normally cut mine into 1/2 inch pieces and season it with a little chili, lemon, salt, pepper and garlic)and a Tbsp of shredded Cheddar Cheese. Make sure to put a little cheese above and below the broccoli so that the quesadilla stays together.
Fry in a greased frying pan. Flip when the bottom is golden and remove when both sides have been toasted.
BBQ Beef
Use slices of flank steak (or it could be another leftover cut), about 1/4 inch thick. I normally season mine with salt, pepper and olive oil.
Add some chopped caramelized onions, cheddar cheese, and a tsp of your favorite bbq sauce.
Fry in a frying pan in the same manner that was mentioned for the Broccoli and Cheddar quesadilla.

Mix all of the ingredients except the chicken and boil together for 2 minutes. Reduce the heat of the liquid to a simmer, add the chicken thighs, and cook on low for 2 hours.
After two hours, the chicken should be completely broken down. If there is too much liquid after 2 hours, you can turn the stove up to a high for a few minutes at the end and allow the liquid to boil down.

Flour Tortillas
Ingredients
2 Cups flour
1 cups water
1 Tsp Baking Soda
2 glugs oil
Dash Salt
Knead dough on floured surface until it has the consistency of "play dough". If it is too stiff add some more water. If it is too loose, add some more flour.
Separate the dough into 8 separate balls. One by on, roll the balls, using a floured rolling pin, into flat circles that are about 1/8 inch thick and 6 inches in diameter.
One by one place the dough circles in a hot, ungreased skillet. Allow to cook on one side for about 60 seconds and then flip the tortilla and cook on the other side for about 60 seconds. You will know it is cooked on each side when some brown spots begin to appear on the tortilla. Make sure that you do not leave your tortilla in the pan too long as it will get brittle.
