Great Santa Fe Quesadilla Maker Recipes

I would like to share a couple of my favorite recipes with you. I broke down and bought the Santa Fe Quesadilla Maker and have not looked back since. There are thousands of recipes out there; these are just a few I made up and my family absolutely loves them. I am sure your family will love them too. They are very easy and quick to make.

My Quesadillas 

1 package dry ranch dressing

1/3 cup milk

¾ cup of mayonnaise (Use Hellman’s or real Mayonnaise)

3 cups shredded jack cheese (you can use any kind of cheese)

1/3 cup of chunky salsa, mild or hot

10 (10 inch) flour tortillas

Oil (optional) 

Blend the first five ingredients and set aside. 

Heat your Santa Fe Quesadilla maker between medium and high.

If you use oil, spread it around on the maker. I usually use non stick spray, any kind will do.

Lay one 10 inch tortilla onto the maker.

Spread a tablespoon, more or less onto the tortilla.

Cover it with another tortilla.

Close the lid of the Santa Fe Quesadilla maker and cook for about three to five minutes.

You may cook them as long as you like, making them browner and crispier the longer you cook them.

Turn them out onto a pretty, colorful platter.

I serve these with good cold Mexican beer and a salad. 

Banana Quesadillas 

I suppose this has to be my daughter’s favorite in the entire world. It is so simple to make. She will come home from school and make one. These are also great for the grandkids. They love to watch and sometimes they will help. Be very careful as the quesadillas are extremely hot. Never leave little ones unattended around the Santa Fe Quesadilla maker. 

2 10 inch flour tortillas

1 teaspoon of peanut butter

½ of a banana, sliced thin

Non stick spray if needed

A pinch of both cinnamon and ginger 

Heat your quesadilla maker, usually medium. You really do not want these to be to crispy.

Mix the peanut butter and cinnamon together.

Spray the quesadilla maker with non stick spray if need be.

Lay one tortilla on the plate.

Spread the peanut butter and cinnamon mixture onto the tortilla. Leave about a fifth of an inch on the outside, so it will not squeeze out.

Layer the banana slices around. Kind of push them down into the peanut butter. 

Put the second tortilla on top and lower the lid. Cook to your liking. 

My daughter usually gets a cold glass of milk and goes and watches television. 

I really do enjoy my Santa Fe Quesadilla maker. It has been a good investment. Some people will use corn tortillas; I have not tried those yet.

I hope you try these recipes. They are a standard in my family. Check out websites for more wonderful recipes, they are out there. Let your imagination feed you!
