Instructions
Make The Quesadillas
- Melt one tbsp of butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium-low heat.
- Place one tortilla on the skillet.
- Sprinkle one cup of shredded cheese on the tortilla.
- Once the cheese begins to melt, add the ground beef.
- Sprinkle one cup of shredded cheese on top of the ground beef.
- Once the cheese begins to melt, place one tortilla on top of the cheese.
- Once the bottom tortilla begins to turn a golden brown color (about 1-2 minutes), carefully flip the entire quesadilla and cook for an additional 1-3 minutes.
- Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and repeat these steps two more times, once with the shredded chicken and once with the sauteed veggies.
Assemble The Board
- Cut each quesadilla into 8 equal pieces.
- Pour the dips into small glass bowls.
- Arrange the small glass bowls from the bottom left to the upper right corner.
- Position 2-3 quesadilla slices on alternating sides of each small glass bowl, with the exception of the top right corner and bottom, left corner.
- Add the mini sweet peppers around some of the small glass bowls, to cover any white spaces.
- Fill remaining white sections with additional quesadilla slices and chips.
Notes
Cook time does not include the time to shred the chicken, cook the beef, or sautee the veggies.
* Your choice for cheese! My favorites are sharp cheddar and fiesta blend.
