Caprese Quesadillas

Caprese quesadillas are seriously one of the most simple dishes you can make for dinner. Even on one of those nights you really don't feel like cooking, these aren't really any more difficult to make than whatever else you make have been considering. You heat a griddle, assemble some quesadillas, and grill. It's as easy as that.

Dustin was really impressed and complimented me on the "brilliant" idea. I'll take it (even though I'm not so sure it's all that creative).
