Quesadilla grilled cheese
This recipe is stacked with cheesy goodness. Make it into a savory snack by cutting each the quesadilla-sandwich stack into slices and serving with guacamole and salsa! If this isn’t festive (and doesn’t scream Mexican-American pride!) we don’t know what does. Learn how to make it here.
CBD-infused guacamole
This recipe is one of our favorites because it’s fresh, simple, and because it was developed by a cannabis chef, it’s infused with CBD. It’s a huge at parties and disappears quickly, so be sure to make an extra batch (or two)! Get the recipe here.
