    HOW TO MAKE SPICY S'MORES QUESADILLA RECIPE (TEXAS-STYLE)  

    To prepare this sweet quesadilla recipe, place length of wax paper on counter surface. Butter one side of tortilla. Place buttered side down on wax paper. Lightly sprinkle cayenne pepper on half of tortilla, if desired. Spread graham cracker crumbs on same half of tortilla.

    seasoning s'mores quesadilla

    Remove chocolate bars from wrappers; break into sections. Position chocolate bar sections on half of tortilla, breaking to fit so that they don't extend beyond edge of tortilla. Evenly sprinkle ½ cup marshmallows over chocolate. Fold tortilla to cover filling.

    filling s'mores quesadilla

    Heat ovenproof skillet several minutes on medium low heat. Carefully add quesadilla; heat several minutes or until tortilla is golden brown and crisp, turning once.

    Remove skillet from oven and drizzle melted chocolate over quesadilla, if desired. Finally, cut into pieces and serve warm. Repeat for desired number of quesadillas.

    ABOUT S'MORES

    S'more is the short term for "some more." It’s a sandwich cookie consisting of a marshmallow and a piece of chocolate placed between 2 graham crackers. A campfire treat that is very popular in the United States and Canada.

    There are many treats made with s’mores, such as HERSHEY'S S'mores Candy Bar, S’mores Pie, S’mores Cake, S’mores Cupcakes, S’mores Dip, S’mores Brownies, and S’mores Cookies.

    ABOUT QUESADILLA RECIPE

    A quesadilla is a Mexican dish consisting of a tortilla filled with melting cheese, to which sometimes meats or beans are added, and then cooked on a griddle. It's crispy golden on the outside and gooey inside.

    There are many types, including dessert quesadillas made with s'mores, chocolate, dulce de leche, and fruits, as well as other sweet ingredients.

    STORAGE

    S'mores are a treat that are best eaten right away. In theory, s'mores can be stored in the fridge although this should be avoided. The reason why is because the melty, gooey marshmallow and chocolate will harden. Plus, the graham crackers will get soggy. The same goes for this Spicy S'mores Quesadilla.

    CHEF'S NOTES:

    • If you don't have wax paper at home, fill tortilla with cayenne and S'mores ingredients and then melt a spoonful of butter in a skillet, cooking according to the recipe directions. 
    • If making more than one quesadilla, you can cook them each individually on the stove top, transfer to a plate while cooking the other(s), and then place them all back into the skillet, top with marshmallows, and broil at one time. 
    • This is such an easy and quick treat that even children can assemble by themselves and then hand to an adult to cook. 
    • A great idea would be a summer-themed s'mores quesadilla bar with all ingredients placed into bowls, left for each person to fill their own quesadilla, and then hand away to be cooked all at one time. 
    • Note that you can find all the ingredients that you need for this quesadilla recipe at H-E-B.

      Growing up I had friends who shared quesadillas with butter and jam, but S'mores is even better! The addition of a touch is spice is genius.
