Ingredients

Creamy Tomatillo Cilantro Lime Dressing

Instructions

  • Heat a griddle or skillet over medium high heat Add 1 teaspoon of butter and swirl it around. Add one tortilla to the pan and sprinkle with 1/2 cup shredded cheese; top with another tortilla.
  • Cook until cheese has melted and tortillas are golden brown, flipping halfway through. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Cut quesadillas into triangles with a pizza cutter. Serve with your favorite salsa.. Enjoy!

Creamy Tomatillo Cilantro Lime Dressing

  • Add all ingredients in order to a blender. Blend together until smooth and creamy. Pour into a serving jar/dressing container and let sit in the fridge for 30 minutes before serving. It will look thin at first, but it will thicken as it cools.
  • Serve with your favorite salad, or as a dip. We love it with our Copycat Cafe Rio Chicken Salad! Store leftovers in the fridge for up to a week.
