Coconut Pecan Chocolate Quesadillas

Oh sweet chocolate madness!  I don’t think there is any more suitable way to end the weekend without a bit of chocolate.

Don’t you agree?

A nibble, a bite or even a spoonful of silky sweet chocolate makes the bitter end of the weekend bearable.

We’re not a Monday loving family.  Who is?

The family had been requesting quesadillas since Tuesday, but I turned a deaf ear.  Everyone once in awhile I do this, it’s my small way of rebelling.  Doesn’t happen much.

The weekend came, we set about our business and I heard the same request.

Niños tercos (stubborn kids)

Sunday evening came; dinner plates were being cleared, the table was getting a much needed scrubbing when I decided we could all use a Chocolate treat.

Chocolate Quesadillas, ohh sweet chocolate madness!

Oversized burrito sized tortillas loaded with cream cheese, shredded coconut and pecans are cooked until crispy.

Cut into wedges and dipped into warm melted chocolate, pretty cool, right?

A few more sprinkles of coconut and pecans, allow to set and BOOM!

Quesadilla request filled!

    Now you’ve gone and done it. I was trying to eat fewer tortilla but then you had to go and add chocolate to one and make it for dessert!!! Who can resist this?
