Mexican Food, FINALLY!

Growing up I always asked my mom to make tacos for dinner. What a simple, yet cool dinner. It took her like 9 years to finally make my dream come true. I think she was afraid to mess them up?? Not sure why. I just always though making Mexican food would be fairly easy and still real yummy. Yet, even myself I never really made much Mexican food even though its one of my favorite kind of food. Ive made simple cheese and chip nachos or some killer veggie chilli in the past. But that is about it. So when I was having my friend Melissa, whom I met at the ACHD conference (and lives 10 mins away, lol), over I wanted to make something yummy, yet good for you. Spaghetti was on my list, but I wanted to make something different than what I usually make. So, I created in my head some killer quesadillas! I finally made my first official Mexican food dish. I made it of course with a twist, which I tend to do. I made them with wraps, shredded cheese, chopped veggie burgers and sliced shrimp. I baked them in the oven and they were extra crispy. For dipping I used ranch dip, creamy salsa and olive spread. It was DELICIOUS and surprisingly the olive spread tasted devine with them. Yum!
