"A super simple cheese quesadilla that the kids find festive in March for St. Patrick's Day. I use Pepper Jack or Monterey Jack cheese because they're white and the green shows up better than with a yellow cheese. White Cheddar would also work well."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Melt 1/2 teaspoon butter or oil in the skillet. Use just enough to coat the bottom of your skillet — about 1/2 teaspoon of butter or oil. Warm it in the skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Add a couple of drops of green food coloring to the butter or oil.
Step 2
Add the tortilla to the skillet and top with cheese. Spread it around the whole tortilla, so it melts quickly and evenly. Dot the cheese with green food coloring.
Step 3
Once the cheese starts to melt, begin lifting a corner of the tortilla and checking the underside. When the cheese has completely melted and you see golden-brown spots on the underside of the tortilla, fold the quesadilla in half.
Step 4
Cut into wedges, and serve the green-tinted quesadilla with salsa (if desired).
