Mexican Quesadilla Dinner

This dish consisted of three products I was dying to try. DCI Cheese?s Organic Cheddar Cheese, Lotus Food?s Organic Forbidden Rice and Sweet Sunshine?s Warm All Natural Sauce. These ingredients are all stuffed inside a sun dried tomato whole-wheat wrap.

I started by cooking the rice in the rice cooker. It was the first time using this incredible appliance. The midnight black/deep purple rice cooked up perfect. I followed the rice cooker?s directions, which said to use slightly less water than the rice package stated. The fragrant aroma, nutty taste and nutritional offerings made this rice superb. The rice contains no cholesterol, 1.5 grams of fat, lots of fiber and even more protein and iron. It?s gluten and wheat free too! According to Chinese scientific research, black rice nourishes the kidneys, invigorates the function of the spleen, warms the stomach, brightens the eyes, revitalizes the circulation of the blood and is high in chi.

I chose to add slices of DCI Cheese?s Organic Creamery Mild Cheddar Cheese into the wrap to add a bit more flavor. This organic cheese block is golden white, marbled and full of a nutty flavor that complimented the rice perfectly. The cheese melted smoothly and creamy leaving the rice a sticky web of gooey goodness.

A few drops of Sweet Sunshine?s Warm Chili Sauce and the quesadilla was complete. Sweet Sunshine?s all natural chili sauce contains ancho peppers, cayenne peppers, habanero peppers, onions, mustard seed and a hint of citrus. The warmness of the sauce added an elevating flavor to this nutty and creamy mix. The peppers added the subtle heat that was essential for this dish. I also added a few green onions and green frying peppers for a slight crunch.

Overall, this easy meal hit the spot with plenty of leftovers. I?d suggest visiting some of the mentioned companies websites.
