I can never get enough cheese, beans and avocado add some onions and peppers wrapped in a delicious tortilla and I'm in heaven. Sadly I'm a little late on the Cinco De Mayo party this year but I gotta say I love Mexican food/ Tex Mex you name it. Its so quick and easy to make something delicious wrapped in a tortilla on those night (like last night) when you don't feel like cooking a big meal. Plus mexican food is so easy to make without meat, you don't notice the meat missing when you have a tortilla packed with fiber and protein rich beans and tons of sautéed veggies.

I'm with you on never getting enough cheese, beans, and avocados! I was just thinking that I wanted to make some kind of quesadilla for supper tonight, then I saw your post! I bet my husband wouldn't even miss the meat! ;)
ReplyDeleteisn't quesadillas awesome, I bet you could totally get away with no meat and your husband may never notice ; )
DeleteYum!! And look at your photography coming along so well!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Patty, still workin at it =)
DeleteIt's perfect for one of those days, when you want something fast and easy but with some kick! Yum!
ReplyDeleteI agree! plus any excuse to use chipotle pepper and I'm in :)
DeleteMy husband just loves Mexican food, and I only just started actually cooking more and more Mexican dishes. Your right! They go together so simple, don't have to have meat (which I don't eat) and usually have most of the ingredients on hand. And do you find that most Mexican foods travel well, you can whip together and take with you in a pinch. Kids will be starting baseball in the next couple of weeks and we are always on the run from one game to the next. And of course always running late for dinner.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your recipe to try, appreciate it.
yeah mexican food is usually my go to meal when I don't feel like measuring out ingredients and making a big meal, you just sauté (heck sometimes you don't even have to saute just microwave some beans and cut up some veggies, dont forget the cheese, wrap it up in a tortilla and yum! good luck during baseball season. I'm on my squadrons softball team, so they will diffidently be some long nights too.
DeleteOh wow! Me too, can't get enough of all those cheese, beans but avocado is quite new to me. But since I know your blog I use more avocado! It's simply amazing how good they taste when associated with the right ingredients! These looks absolutely appetizing! Just love all your awesome recipes & love to try these too. Have a lovely day, dear Neshanne! HUGS :)
ReplyDelete: ) Your are too sweet Kit, thank you! I love that you like avocado now. I remember being a kid and hating avocado, until I became older my taste buds changed and now I can't get enough of it. I'm sure you have the same problem as us in Japan where your supermarket might not always carry it, cause its not a local produce.
DeleteThis looks beautiful. I love all the bright colors and the fanned avocado on top ... Brilliant :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks CJ : )
DeleteYum! This sounds so good right now... love me some Mexican food, haha!
ReplyDeleteme too! Thanks Willow.
DeleteOh this looks DELISH!!! Great combo of ingredients =))
ReplyDeleteThank you Tess =)
DeleteMmmm ... just had burritos for dinner last night ~ it's the only Tex-Mex dinner I know hw to do. But in future I could make this recipe part of my repertoire. Thx for sharing.
ReplyDeletemmm Burritos another fav of mine, hope you enjoy making quesadillas. :)
DeleteI'm such a savory breakfast person (over sweet things) and I love avocados - this is perfect for me! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Jen, If you like savory for breakfast try swapping out the tortilla for some roasted potatoes topping it off with beans and cheese. = ) made it last week for breakfast and it was great. I love avocados too!
