10-Minute Vegetarian Quesadilla
Imagine a world where you can make your own delicious pizza at home…Wouldn’t it be great? I’ve asked this question many many times throughout my life, mainly myself, and the answer was always yes.
And now, after years of experimentation, I found a great way to do it.
The shortcut is by using a tortilla instead of spreading an actual dough and kneading it and getting dusty from the flour. I know, this is kinda lazy and not really “homemade”, but it works and it’s absolutely delicious.
