Green Chile Cheese Quesadillas
At the University of Texas at Austin, Scott Meyer, associate director for dining services, says for summer conferences they write a menu that is a blend of a young adult tastes and a kiddie menu.
″We need to have a variety of choices that meet the taste of kids ages 12 to 15 and the tastes of our college students.″
Meyer says these green chili cheese quesadillas straddle the line between kiddie menu and adult fare, making them perfect for summer conferences. The department uses tortillas made fresh daily from a local supplier.
