Spread BBQ sauce to taste on one side of a tortilla and then add shredded cheese and/ or options. Spread BBQ sauce on second tortilla and place sauce side down on top of the cheese. Grill quesadillas until golden brown. Let the quesadillas cool for a few minutes before eating. (Caution: Cheese will be hot and they will disappear if left unattended.)
Options: Use Classic BBQ Sauce for the kids or use the Fiesta with Chipotle BBQ Sauce for some added kick. Add chicken, beef, pork, or shrimp for some amazing variations!
The idea for these BBQ Quesadillas came up when my wife Diana’s Primo (Cousin) Tom was on location for the film the Alamo and had been gone for about a month. Our family was invited to have a barbecue with Tom’s sons and his wife Christina (whom Tom nicknamed Guida). I was cooking some Tri-Tip on the grill and had brought along the fixings’ for quesadillas. I thought why not try the quesadillas with some Smokin’ Willie’s BBQ Sauce? I made one and put it on the counter in the kitchen to cool off. A few minutes later Christina (Guida) came out laughing, telling me that the quesadilla was gone! The boys went wild over it, so I made the rest of the quesadillas with Smokin’ Willie’s BBQ Sauce and everybody loved them, not just the kids. From then on we called the BBQ Quesadillas “Guida’s Quesadillas.”
