SHRIMP AND CILANTRO PESTO QUESADILLA
These are fantastic. The oven baking method produces a quesadilla that is uncommonly crisp and light, but they work just as well on a grill. They're a cinch to assemble ahead of time, which makes them perfect for entertaining. Cut into eighths for ideal hors d'oeuvres or into quarters for a light lunch. Delicious!
