Help! We Need an Intervention.

Someone please stop us from enjoying so frequently the toasty cheesey goodness of quesadillas. Blank canvases for inspired cooks, tortillas with melted cheese are a welcoming backdrop for just about any ingredient you can insert. An easy and quick preparation only lures us further to these lazy lunches and dinners. We've taken the first step by admitting our problem here at Cafe Drake HRV and have found (pictured below) a few methods of at least pretending we're adopting a healthier approach to quesadilla consumption.

Cafe Drake HRV got a wee wee bit more ambitious with the accompanying salad here, tossing in shaved red onions, toasted pine nuts and roasted sweet potato cubes.

The quesadilla at its simplest, just melted cheese and corn tortilla. Perfection with salsa, stewed yellow squash, slow-simmered pinto beans and chipotle salsa. Scratch the intervention on second thought. This is one habit we don't want to break.
