After being inspired by an episode of ABC's 'The Chew' and finding a good deal on Green Bell peppers , Red Onions, Spinach and Balsamic vinegar. I knew what The Wife and I were doing for dinner. The celebs on 'The Chew' were demonstrating Superbowl menu ideas.
I asked The Wife's opinion of the stuffed potato skins. "No Go", she exclaimed. That helped direct my thoughts towards Build your own Quesadillas With the fresh produce in hand I needed to add tortillas, Mexican blend cheese and southwest sauce while roaming the grocery store aisles.
Upon arriving home I went to work creating all the parts for a successful Build your Own meal. First I roasted diced Bell peppers with diced Red onions in a 500 F oven until black, I cooled the peppers with cold Southwest sauce. Added 3 cups to the food processor and turned it into a spread. I saved the rest as marinated peppers and onions.The baby Spinach was tossed in Balsamic vinegar.
Now for assembling my Quesadillas:
I buttered my tortillas on one side and placed pepper spread on the other. I brought out of the fridge the Tomato spread from earlier this week and spread some of that on also. I then added Balsamic flavored Spinach and topped it off with Mexican cheese blend. I then folded it over and browned it in a med hot skillet. The Bacon Green Bean Potato dish was served as an accompaniment.
I did not see The Wife's version as I was concentrating on my own. I simply remember her remark halfway through dinner. This is awesome honey are we having these again on Sunday. "If we stay home, Sure !" I said. "Unless we go to the family group Superbowl party" " Then maybe on Monday"
