Quesadilla’s are so easy to make, we make them quite often around here. This shredded beef quesadilla was made with leftover beef roast from last night. Scott is out in the field so I try and have meals in the fridge so he has something to eat when he gets home late, so last night I made beef roast. I ended up with way more beef than I thought I would have, which is usually the case. The kids aren’t real fond of beef roast, so I was trying to think of other uses for it. While I was driving to the grocery store this popped into my head. Of course that was all I could think about while I was getting groceries too. I couldn’t get home fast enough. I was STARVING by the time I finally made it back home and got everything put away. Luckily these don’t take more than 10 minutes start to finish. You can use what ever toppings you would like. These are just some of my favorites.
