SENIOR LADY SNACK TIMES! PART #2

My son baked a 3 pound beef brisket. He slow cooked it for 6 hours on 275 temperature.

He added mushrooms, onions, and shredded carrots to the sauce during last few

minutes of cooking. His beef brisket was so good!  Of course, there was a lot

of brisket left over ( even after eating it three days)!  

I reserved  some of the cooked beef  brisket, so I could make 

beef Quesadillas. Here is my recipe:

 

SENIOR LADY BAKED SPICY BEEF QUESADILLAS

3 1\2 cups cooked chopped beef brisket

1- 1 oz packet chili or taco seasoning

2 oz diced mild green chilies

8 oz shredded pepper jack cheese

4 large burrito style flour tortilla shells

4 Tablespoons Oil

2 Tablespoon soft butter

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400.

Chop  left over beef brisket  by hand or in food processor. Add beef  to bowl 

and stir in seasoning mix, chilies, and cheese.  Divide meat mixture into 4 equal 

parts and set aside.  

Soften tortilla shells 7-10 seconds  in microwave.  Keep them warm, wrapped in a 

 towel. Warm shells become pliable and are easier to handle.

 Lay a tortilla shell on flat surface. Fill one side of shell with meat

mixture. Spread it out with spoon but avoid going to edge.

Fold other side of shell over meat mixture. Repeat

process until four Quesadillas are prepared.

Line 2  sheet pans with foil. Mix oil and butter in small bowl. Spread

half of oil mixture evenly on top of the lined  pans. Lay 2 Quesadillas

in each  pan.  Spread rest of oil mixutre on tops of the 4 

Quesadillas.   Bake 8-10 minutes or until both sides brown 

and crisp.  Cut into wedges before serving.
