• quesadillas and soft tacos
• Quesadillas are grilled turnovers made with flour tortillas. They can be cooked on a griddle (that's the traditional way) or baked. If they are chock-full of ingredients, it's easier to bake them. Soft tacos made with flour tortillas are more versatile than the more familiar crisp tacos, since you don't have to worry about everything falling out of a crumbly shell. If you start making a quesadilla, but decide not to grill it, you've got a soft taco instead. That's why I offer the either/or option with the four recipes that follow.
