(I dont know if this is true or not.
Lies are fine at the dinner table, people.)

Its sort of working.
So, while I tell my kids these are Trees and Cheese quesadillas, they dont hide anything.
They are stuffed full of blanched broccoli and cheddar cheese.

That just makes it easier for little mouths to eat these quesadillas.
It’s spicy and bright, and cuts through the trees and cheese.
It makes the quesadilla a full meal for me.

or does she?!
She hates any food right now that isnt dairy or fruit, so this is about right.
Add the broccoli and blanch until its bright green and fork tender, about 3 minutes.
Nick Evans
Then drain the broccoli, let it cool slightly and chop it finely.
Combine the minced ingredients in a bowl and set aside.
Preheat a large skillet over medium-low heat.

If you haven’t already grated your cheese, do it now.
Sprinkle a loosely packed cup of grated cheese (about 3 ounces) on one half of the tortilla.
Top with 1/2 cup of chopped broccoli.
Nick Evans
Fold the tortilla over to cover the filling and form a half-circle.
Cook the quesadilla for about 3 minutes per side until its crispy and the cheese is melted.
Repeat with making the other quesadillas.

Cut the quesadillas into triangular segments, and serve with sour cream, avocado, and the spicy pico!
