My husband is a big fan of Denver Broncos, and YES! They are on Superbowl this year. He is very excited and claiming that this Sunday is his day to enjoy the big game. I am not a much of football person (nor any sports) but happy to join my husband and other millions of Americans for the excitement.

It is a quite American cultural thing to munch on finger foods on a big game night. It is the night where the greatest dips and chips, all the finger-licking good, and mouth-watering appetizers will shine on your party table.

I would like to add Quesadillas to join my game night finger foods list as well. Who wouldn’t love the warm ooey-gooey melted cheese wrapped in crisp tortillas!

So, here is my version of delicious and simple to make Tomato and Cheese Quesadilla. A hint of pickled jalopeño will spice up the flavor quite nicely.

This is the quesadilla that I make quite often whenever I have leftover tortillas, and my family always raved.

Tomato Cheese Quesadilla-D

You can eat the way it is or serve with some sour cream. Delicioso!!

Invite families and friends over for the big game night of the year, and enjoy the party together with scrumptious food. If you are a huge chicken wings fan, try this Korean Fried Chicken or Non-spicy Korean Fried Chicken to impress.  If you like warm, hearty Italian finger food, you can’t beat the Stromboli with warm marinara sauce to dip in.

No mater what you make, or what other dishes are on the table, everything will be delicious. That is the magic of Superbowl night.

Oh, and also…, if you are a fan of Denver Broncos, please, shout with me. “Go Broncos!” – “Neighhhhh!!!
