I'm a working mom with 9 years experience raising a celiac kid. I have to eat dairy and gluten free, but my daughter only has to eat GF. I'm by no means an expert, but I'm happy to share a few of my cooking tips, school lunchbox ideas, and recipes with you. I'll be posting something new once a month.

GF Quesadilla Recipe and Variations

One of my daughter's favorite gluten-free lunches is a simple quesadilla, made from Don Pancho's gluten-free wraps and simple cheddar cheese.

For anyone who doesn't know what a quesadilla is, it's a Mexican form of a toasted cheese sandwich. Instead of using bread, most folks use flour tortillas. We must eat gluten-free, however, so we use Don Pancho's gluten-free wraps for our quesadilla's "bread". Slice some cheese, slap it in-between two GF wraps, fry the whole thing in hot oil in a skillet, and voila! You've got quesadilla.

There are some yummy variations on quesadillas though, and I think I should mention these:


  • melted cheddar cheese and refried beans inside the quesadilla
  • melted pepper jack cheese and avocado in your quesadilla
  • chicken, cilantro, peppers, and cheese quesadilla (see picture)
  • a quesadilla with jalepeno peppers melted into the cheese (not for the wee little tykes)
  • plain old cheese quesadilla dipped in guacamole and/or sour cream and/or salsa
  • melted cheese blended with left-over hamburger in your quesadilla
  • and my favorite: a combination of some of the above... cheese, hamburger, cilantro, beans, and guacamole quesadilla


Can you think of yummy quesadilla variations that I didn't mention here? Your comments are welcome.
