Ingredients:

• 8 flour tortillas, taco size (recommended: Mission)

• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• Salt
• Freshly ground black pepper

Directions:

Set up grill for direct cooking over medium heat and oil grate when ready to cook.
For Quesadilla:
Lay out 4 tortillas; top each tortilla with brie, smoked turkey, apricot preserves, and Jack cheese. Top with remaining tortillas.
For Salad:
In a bowl, toss to combine herbs and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper; set aside.
Place quesadillas on hot oiled grill for 3 to 4 minutes per side or until cheese has melted flipping with a spatula. Serve hot topped with mixed herb salad.

Sandra's videos are the one and only place in all of YouTube where all commenters can get along.

[loafaries]

The brand names aren't blocked out for copyright reasons, it's because the manufacturers are embarrassed about being on Sandra's show.

Scissors to cut those herbs? Smh.......

[bulldozerchn]

I'm sorry, but I can't help but laugh when she puts the "herb" salad on top.

@bradleasays Proof positive.

@jaberwocky6669 finally someone said it, it's so true. i know lots of people who refuse to read the comments on youtube videos and i've told them "no, you have to read the ones on sandra lee videos, they actually make it BETTER!" hahaha

You know, I could give Brie and Apricot Quesadilla's a pass. Cheese and fruit flavors do normally work, in theory, so it could work.

But smoked turkey and Monterrey Jack? Hell no.

There are some things you just don't do.

Putting Brie on a quesadilla is one of them.

Oh. No Chives and Mint Leaves pre chopped?
