Beef Quesadillas
Here comes a recipe for Beef Quesadillas, a Mexican recipe but with an Indian touch.I cooked beef in a pressure cooker with some spices, and if you do not pressure cooker, you just need to cook in an ordinary pot for 30mins or so. I like the cheese in the quesadillas and cheese is needed for the tortillas to stay together when folded. It is a cheesy beef quesadilla but If you do not like or have cheese, you can make without cheese also. Everyone would enjoy this, kids, adults alike.
