There's a new Foreman on the job

One of the best ways to make food in the office is to bring in a George Foreman grill. I've made all kinds of things in the office (and at home of course) on this jack-of-all-grills. Of course there are the standard burgers, dogs, brats, etc etc that you can make. These all have the wonderful effect of emanating throughout the office, making even the most die-hard health nut or staunches vegetarian salivate. But what do you do when you're tired of the same-ol' same-ol'?

Quesadillas. Now, it takes a little bit of care when making quesadillas on a foreman. First off, they're fantastically slanted which makes draining grease great, but that really works against you when you're trying to make a quesadilla. The last thing that you want is your queso sliding out of your dilla. There's remedy to this and it comes with your foreman. It's the grease tray. Simply flip it upside down, rest the front legs on it and padow! flat grill! Now, on to actually making the dilla. What you want to do first is grill the meat. I like the pre-cooked, pre-sliced, pre-flavored chicken. It's easy, doesn't make much mess and it's tasty. After you've toasted that up, next you move on to the tortillas. You'll want to toast these so that they just start to bubble and crisp. Also, make sure that you flip them so that they're nicely toasted on both sides. Once you've got them all toasted, it's dilla makin' time! Put the toasted dilla on the grill, sprinkle a little cheese on it (I like 4-cheese mexican by Kraft), put your chicken on there (sauteed mushrooms are also fantastic, but still more work... more of a home dilla than a work dilla), throw a little more cheese on top and make sure that there's enough around the edges to seal it without having it run out. Finally, put the another dilla on top and close the lid. It won't take long, but you want to toast it until the cheese is well melted along the edges and the dilla has gotten nice and crispy. You'll have to fight people off.

Side note: if you make these at home and you make them right (cheese sealed around the edges to keep the deliciousness in), you can put them in the large ziploc bags and they transport really well. Just nuke it and you're good to go. You just have to be careful and cover it while you're walking down the hall so that you don't get jumped.

Happy feasting!
