Secrets To Better Appetizers:

In addition to being delicious, these appetizers peach and brie quesadillas are so simple. Best practices are to put the filling on 1/2 of the tortilla. Simply fold it in half – this easy step makes them so much easier to handle. I like to use whole wheat tortillas. Wheat tortillas give it a sweet and nutty taste. Lime honey sauce adds to the rich buttery flavor of the filling. Don’t be afraid to try different fillings too.
