The Quesadilla Crunchwrap (commercially marketed under a similar name) could be easily obtained at a well-known fast food chain. However, this recipe will allow you to replace the "fast food" ingredients with better quality and better flavor. This Quesadilla Crunchwrap can be cooked in a frying pan, or (ideally) with a Panini Press. The Quesadilla Crunchwrap is an extremely flexible dish that can be filled with pretty much any kind of Meat that you have on hand.
