Quesadilla Christmas Trees
Cute Christmas trees made out of quesadillas and guacamole. 
Everyone in our family loves quesadillas. Today for a special treat I made Christmas Tree quesadillas. Aren’t they cute?! I think they are the perfect fun holiday food for kids – or adults. You can decorate them with any topping you like. I love pomegranate arils with guacamole and they work well as a festive topping here.
I’m signing off for the week to spend time with my family, but you can find me on Instagram. Happy holidays, Friends!
