Pasquals Cilantro Pesto Quesadillas Recipes
CILANTRO JALAPENO PESTO WITH LIME
This is a spicy alternative to classic basil pesto. You can control the spiciness by using less jalapeno and by removing the seeds and white membrane of the pepper before adding it to the pesto. If you like the spice, just throw it all in!

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!
