Cheesy Minion Quesadillas

It’s Minion Madness week here in our household with the new Minion movie out this weekend! 
Ava has loved minions since we watched the first Despicable Me movie when she was a baby and we even threw her a Despicable Me 1st Birthday Party! 
To celebrate the new movie {which of course we are seeing in the theater ASAP!} I made a minion inspired lunch for my little sweetie. This idea was inspired by another blogger, Parrish at Lifewiththecrustcutoff.com who made a similar minion pizza but Ava love quesadillas so I decided to switch it up and make a extra cheesy, turkey filled, olive topped Minion Quesadilla! 
Can you tell we’re a little minion obsessed here?!

Ingredients: 

Makes 4 kid size quesadillas
  • 8 small taco size flour tortillas
  • 2 1oz black olive single serve cups, sliced
  • 8 thin sliced deli turkey
  • 8 slices Cheddar cheese (or sub shredded)
  • 2 slices Mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup mixed cheese, shredded

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
  2. Coat a skillet with non stick spray and heat over medium.
  3. Add a tortilla, top with 2 slices turkey, and a small handful of shredded cheese (about 1/4 cup), and top with another tortilla. 
  4. Let cook for a minute then flip over and lightly brown the other side and heat through.
  5. Remove to a baking sheet and repeat with remaining tortillas and fillings until you have four quesadillas on a baking sheet.
  6.  Add 2 pieces sliced cheddar cheese to the top of each quesadilla (I cut one slice in half to try to fill most of the space on the tortilla). Then I cut a circle of sliced mozzarella cheese (I traced the bottom of the olive cup with my knife for the circle) and place that in the center for the eye on each tortilla.
  7. Next arrange the sliced olives on top of the cheese to make the minion googles and eye. Then I added half a slice for a smile and a couple chopped pieces on top for hair. 
  8. Bake at 300 degrees for a few minutes, just enough to melt the cheese.
  9. Let cool slightly then cute into triangles and serve. 
Any soft flour tortilla will work but I love these soft and fluffy small tortillas.

Coat a skillet with non stick spray and heat over medium.

Add a tortilla and top with 2 thin slices of deli turkey.

Add a small handful of shredded cheese (about 1/4 cup) on top.
Top with another tortilla. 
 Let cook for a minute then flip over and lightly brown the other side and heat through.

Remove to a baking sheet and repeat with remaining tortillas and fillings until you have four quesadillas on a baking sheet.

 Add 2 pieces sliced cheddar cheese to the top of each quesadilla (I cut one slice in half to try to fill most of the space on the tortilla). Then I cut a circle of sliced mozzarella cheese (I traced the bottom of the olive cup with my knife for the circle) and place that in the center for the eye on each tortilla.
We love snacking on olives so I buy these 1oz cups.
 I used two of these cups and sliced the olives to make the minion face and googles.
Simply lay the sliced olives on top of the cheese to make the minion googles and eye. Then I added half a slice for a smile and a couple chopped pieces on top for hair. 
Bake at 300 degrees for a few minutes, just enough to melt the cheese.
I tried this with both sliced cheese and shredded and I like the look
of the melted sliced cheese better but both turned out cute! 
Let cool slightly then cute into triangles and serve. 
Ava likes to dip hers in honey mustard!

🍽 Yesterday we enjoyed lunch at NCAL+H2O, an upscale seafood gem of a restaurant in downtown Rolla. It was a delicious meal and everything this Florida girl has been craving! 
🐟 We started with an order of amazing Tuna Poke Nachos then shared a Grilled Shrimp Club sandwich with fries and a tasty salad with house garlic parm dressing. We couldn't stop there so we also split a bowl of cioppino, which was chock full of fresh seafood. Next time I want to try their Parmesan Halibut or Seafood Pasta!

⭐ Lunch was courtesy of @rolladowntown.  I was a winner of $100 in downtown dollars in their Tis the Season of Giving contest!

🥡 We tried @doordash for the first time during our stay in Branson tonight. It really saved us time and energy running around town and delivery was free! We ordered ramen, bi bim bap, and lo mein from a local Asian restaurant called Noodle 21. It was delish! Check them out if you are in the area and send me a message if you want a referral for $5 off to try #doordash ! @noodle21branson #eatlocal #branson #takeoutfood #whatsfordinner

Road trip time and #CaseysCurbside saved the day! We stopped at @caseys and stocked up on some supplies, including my favorite pretzels and juice from their new line of Casey’s favorites, before we were on our way. I love that I can order right on Caseys.com or via their app and pickup using their free and easy curbside. #sponsored

We drove out to Marshfield today and made a few Route 66 stops including the Missouri Welcome Center in Conway with it's Route 66 themed picnic area and downtown Marshfield with the murals and Hubble telescope replica.
