Double Dipping
Things get even more interesting when you dip these soft quesadillas in a sauce of your preference. In fact, why stop at just one sauce? Here, you’ll find a quick list of dipping sauces that would taste great with your meal:
Marinara: perfect if you want to add a touch of italian flavor to your food.
Chipotle Guacamole: the most spicy and authentic way to enjoy a little taste of Mexico wherever you are.
Beer Cheese: quesadillas are already filled with cheese, but if that’s not enough for you, you could dip them in more cheese with this robust dipping sauce that will make you believe you are in an Irish pub.
Tzatziki: if you are not new to Minute®, you’ll know that we already mentioned this appetizing Greek sauce more than once on our blog.
Honey Mustard: this is something you can’t help but try if you are a big fan of spicy and sweet combinations.
Those options would all look great on a taco platter for your next Tex-Mex and Mexican Dinner Party!
