Parmesan Crusted Meatball Quesadillas Ingredients: 
Carando Abruzzee Meatballs
Favorite Marinara Sauce
Mozzerella Cheese
Parmesan Cheese
Tortillas
Butter
Directions: 
Bake Carando Meatballs in oven according to package. 
Once baked, place in a bowl and coat in your favorite marinara sauce. 
Coat a skillet or griddle in cooking spray and set to medium-high heat. Place tortilla on griddle and add a layer of mozzarella cheese. 
Cut meatballs in half and place on tortilla and cheese. Sprinkle on a bit more mozzarella cheese. 
Cover with a second tortilla. Using a stick of butter, rub butter all over the top of the quesadilla. 
Sprinkle a coat of parmesan cheese over the tortilla. 
Carefully flip the quesadilla and repeat the butter and parmesan coating. After 1 minute, flip the quesadilla and leave for 1 minute. 
Once all the cheese is melted and the parmesan has created a crust on the tortilla, remove from the griddle. Carefully cut into slices and serve with a marinara dipping sauce. The parmesan crust is so flavorful and pairs perfectly with the Carando Abruzzee Meatballs – seriously mouthwatering! Hope you enjoy!
