Grilled Quesadillas
Pkg Flour Tortillas, burrito size
Cheese of any kind
Pkg Smokie ****tail Wienners
or
Cubed Ham Pieces
or
bacon pieces
Mushrooms, mild banana pepper rings, black olives
butter/olive oil spray
Spray both sides of tortillas. Place into sandwich maker. Spread desired meats/veggies
(I've even used vienna sausages). Close and cook for about 2 mins...and waalla.. Any variations and combinations of "stuffings" can be used.
My favorite appliance for the truck is the Sandwich Maker from Walmart @ $9.97. (and at that price, you can afford to always have a backup
). With this little gadget, you can make
grilled cheese sandwiches, quesadillas, fry an egg & make toast. We've even had fried bologna & spam for sandwiches...only thing is never put your mayonaise on your bread BEFORE putting into sandwich maker...eewww. I always keep the mazola butter and olive oil spray on hand...will wipe out really clean after it cools off...I just use my wipes that I make myself. Also, I've bought the pack of cornbread mix...add a little less water, and have "fried cornbread", in the sandwich maker...mix a can of tomato soup with a can of Margaret
Holmes okra/corn/tomatoes, a can of lima beans, a can of diced potatoes and PRESTO, homemade veggie soup & cornbread....so good on those snowy nites sitting in the middle of nowhere.
Also, can use a small can of biscuits....spray down with choice of butter/ olive oil, and cook in one of these litt'l handy appliances. I also have a small crock pot on the truck, which I
occasionally buy the turkey tenderloins...just luv the apple bourbon/smoke ones, and put into the crockpot with some small red potatoes. I also keep Mrs. Dash original and just luv the
new "grinders" by Mccormick...especially the sea salt/garlic, and the black peppercorn/garlic and also the steak house grinder for spicin up the meat. I can spend 7 or 8 dollars on the meat and it will feed us a wonderful dinner, PLUS, have enough left over for sandwiches the next day...also enough to feed our four legged security...Lucky. LOL... I have often purchased the long grain brown rice and added a small apple juice to the crock pot with the choice of pork or turkey tenderloins....Oooohhh makes the ride so much better...the smells while riding down the road are wonderful.
I have several recipes utilizing two small "walmart" applicances and of course, the microwave...although I REALLY don't like using the microwave that much...just for the steamer packs that are available now...they're just wonderful for the veggies. I like using my small crock pot for oatmeal, and the sandwich maker for the "fried" toast...at least I feel I'm doing my part for healthy eating for my husband and myself even though we're not at home. The times I actually do eat the "buffets", I usually end up getting sick....I wonder why???LOL
