Quiet Time Quesadillas

Kids. They yell, they hit and kick, and they break stuff.  They won't go to bed when they're tired but will crash on your floor like a drunk homeless person when their friends come over to play.  Feeding them is impossible, and their tastes change quicker than the words teenagers use in place of "cool."

Whether these get your kid to shut up and eat or not, they're good enough to make the 5-minutes-a-day you get to yourself worth the wait.

Quiet Time Quesadilla:

• 2 Flour Tortilla (better if you make them yourself but ain't nobody got time for that).
• 2 Tablespoons butter
• 1/4 Cup Mild Cheddar
• 1/4 Cup Monterey Jack
• Pinch Cayenne Pepper
• Tabasco and Sour Cream to taste

Method:

Place a large frying pan over medium-high heat.  Butter one side of each tortilla while the pan is heating.  Yes, butter.  You already have kids, no one cares about your flab anymore.  Once the pan is up to temp, sprinkle Cayenne immediately before placing a tortilla in the pan-- butter side down. 

Cheese it. Both kinds.

Put the top on.  BUTTER SIDE UP YOU IDIOT and sprinkle another bit of Cayenne over the top.

Flip once nicely brown and cook the backside.  Keep an eye on it, if the pan starts to smoke it'll ruin your day. 

Cut into slices for your bratty kid, top with Sour Cream and Tabasco (oh, come on... it's mild!) and commence trying to get the little terror to eat.  Or just stuff your own face.  Or both.  Either way.

For extra grump per bite, get some Ancho Chili Powder and pinch a bit of that in with the Cayenne as well.
