Hominy Quesadillas

 

Dinner at our house is major.  Breakfast is usually on the go, on the fly.

Lunch is usually leftovers, a quick taquito de aguacate (my favorite) or a heaping bowl of oatmeal.

But, dinner is another story.  This is our time. Time to experiment, try a new recipe or perfect a future recipe that will eventually find its place here.  We seem to have all fallen into the ritual of slowing down, unwinding from our day through the kitchen.  I have to say it has been a wonderful refuge for our family.

This does not mean that every recipe that emerges from our kitchen is a labor intensive process.   No.  The family time and the company especially the company is what that makes the meal special.

Take for instance the all favorite quesadilla.  Crispy tortillas held together with gooey cheese.  The filling options are endless, really you can stuff these babies with anything and trust me I have.  But today we went with hominy.  Hominy is one of my to go pantry essentials.  The hominy saute is based off one of my favorite hominy recipes.  Topped with VELVEETA® and RO*TEL® , delish! Enjoy!
