I made quesadillas for lunch today and I was trying to jazz them up a bit and just kept adding different elements until it tasted and looked similar to 7 layer dip. DELICIOUS!!!!
~Butter your tortilla on one side. Place tortilla butter side down in hot pan or on hot griddle. Quickly sprinkle cheddar cheese on half of tortilla. Sprinkle a scattered layer of drained black beans on cheese. Fold the other half of tortilla over to top the other half. Brown and flip over and brown that side.
~Once quesadilla is on the plate cut into wedges and generously spread some ranch dressing that you have added some taco seasoning to over the top. Spoon some salsa over top. Sprinkle with sliced green onions, diced tomatoes, and black olives.

Pizza Pockets
If you have made the ham and cheese pockets I put on here a while back you will LOVE these pizza pockets! So delicious and easy!!! I decided to try this variation the other night for Max's birthday dinner. They were a HUGE hit! This is what I did...
~Let Rhode's Rolls thaw and rise. You will need 2 rolls per pocket. I made 2 per person. (We had some left over and they were even delicious left over reheated in the microwave the next day. Just let them cool completely before closing the container or they will sweat and make the dough wet and slimy.)
~Squish 2 rolls together and flatten.
~Put a dollop of pizza sauce in the middle of pocket.
~Sprinkle with some mozzarella.
~Place desired toppings on cheese. I used cooked ground pork sausage, pepperoni, and canadian bacon.
~Close pocket by stretching dough around and pinch closed WELL. Place SEAM SIDE DOWN on cookie sheet that has been sprayed with cooking spray.
~Spread SOFTENED butter (NOT melted, SOFTENED!!) on pocket. Sprinkle with garlic salt and parmesan cheese.
~ Bake at 375 degrees for about 15 minutes or until dough is thoroughly cooked through.
The kids can even help make them if you have the patience for it that night. I did them myself that night but maybe I'll let them help another night. They LOVE helping make the ham and cheese pockets so I'm sure they will love making these!!!
