Take that ridiculously expensive quesadilla with hidden carrot!

My little who just turned 2 has decided veggies are evil. Unless she is eating her little bro's purees with him. I was browsing the frozen isle looking for these chicken cordon blue things that she loves when I saw that they had these quesadillas with hidden carrot in them. little miss loves quesadillas so I thought what the heck lets try. I didn't even think to look at the price because how expensive could 2 little packages be especially when that is considered 1 serving size right....holy moly just about 4 buck is how much!!! Um no. I am not paying that. So I set off to make my own with what I had about. I will continue to tweek the recipe I am sure with what I have on hand. I even had some filling left over and so I used it in a grilled cheese sandwich. Yummo!

Quesadilla with cheese and carrot puree

about1/3 of a block of cream cheese
about1/3 of a 1lb block of cheese ( I had cheddar on hand)
carrot puree (I used the gerber 1st foods size)
tortillas

in a food processor shred the cheddar and then add the carrot puree and cream cheese. pulse until all combined.
spread desired amount on half a tortilla and fold over.
you can either cook immediately or wrap individually in plastic wrap and place in a ziplock on the freezer.
to heat in micro I place a paper towel on top of the quesadilla and heat on high about 1 min then let set a min before slicing and giving to little miss. You can also pan heat these but she likes the tortilla soft.
