This post made me chuckle, especially since we’ve talked about cilantro before. I have to admit that I used to think that my cilantro-hating friends were just exaggerating. I mean, to me, it’s just cilantro. It’s not fabulous but it’s not repulsive. It’s kind of just there, like the tomatoes. But, since then, I read several articles about how receptors in our tongues and in our noses react to chemicals differently. I loved how you described the taste being like holding a nickel in your mouth. That sounds so unpleasant!
I am just glad I am not alone. Sounds like I am in good company. I think I heard that both Julia, and Ina, were/are not fans. It is really strange since I don’t mind coriander. I find that a little confusing.
I want to try your homemade tortillas. I used your little trick with the clear dish on some flatbread that I plan to post soon. I will link to you when I do because I like to credit not just the recipe, but the tips I’ve learned to the people that shared the tip.
I love cilantro but it’s definitely one of those “love it/loathe it” herbs! I also love that you dressed the lettuce with a little vinaigrette – definitely going to be trying that trick the next time I make quesadillas!!
Nancy, I am so pleased that it appeals to you – I consider this high praise. It makes such a quick lunch I hope you will try it. I used whole wheat tortilla from Sprouts. They are made with canola oil, but I want to try homemade.
Looks like a wonderful lunch, wish we could sit down and enjoy it together. We’d probably end up chatting all afternoon about all of our food ideas! 🙂 That would be a fun afternoon!
Your Hot Pepper Cheese Quesadilla looks wonderful, we will just love it! Thank you so much for sharing this special recipe with Full Plate Thursday and enjoy your weekend.
Come Back Soon!
