dang that was good - apples, pepper-jack... chocolate quesadilla bliss

My friend Stephanie told me about the most fabulous combination, which truly you all must try!







take a flour tortilla




spread some cream cheese on it (1/3 fat worked for me)







add a small amount of pepper jelly - you know that odd stuff that was quite the surprise as a kid on the Christmas finger-food spread...



add thinly sliced apples - i chose granny smith



and top it off with pepper jack cheese... i just cut some off of a block



Fold over- the cream cheese does a wonderful job of holding it all together and sealing the edges


Let it sizzle in a pan with a bit of oil... or use a griddle... or one of those $20 quesadilla makers...

Flip and delight in the wonder of the combo...wrapped in golden-brown crispness...
tis so yum

Um, and then for dessert... i did the cream cheese again, sprinkled some brown sugar and chocolate chips... folded over, sizzled, and bit into a bit of heaven.
Belle and Christian had chocolate all over their hands and faces. I just had a big ole smile on mine.
It would be wrong of me not to pass this on.

Never heard of pepper jelly.

These all sound good. I'm trying to envision the flavor of cream cheese, choc, and br sugar...very intriguing sounds good but just can think of what it would taste like.

Thanks
