After getting this in our weekly box we decided to make it from scratch, a second time.
WARNING! DO NOT USE MORE THAN A HEAPED TEASPOON OF STORE BOUGHT CHIPOTLE PASTE FOR 4 PEOPLE UNLESS YOU LOVE EXTREME SPICINESS AND CAN HANDLE THE AFTERMATH. We learned that from the first attempt at cooking from scratch! Painful, and we can normally handle spicy food!
This time, we proceeded with caution on the chipotle paste front. We used LAS CHICAS TINGA chipotle cooking paste. Lovely flavour and just the right heat in a heaped teaspoon across 4 portions.
My youngest, an extremely picky eater, asked for 2nds after about half of her quesadillas! She ate more than either me or my partner since we donated one of our quesadillas to sate her hunger. My youngest is a slim waif of a 12yo who frequently eats like a bird and often leaves more than half of her food on the plate. She devoured the quesadillas and ate like we have rarely, if ever, seen her eat.
Total win!
