Kid Territory:Recipes: Queen Bee Quesadillas

What's all the buzz about bees? I know you might think of stingers, but bees are actually a very important insect, especially the queen bee! I've created a special snack in her honor. In fact, without the queen and her bees, we wouldn't have one of the main ingredients for this recipe: HONEY!

Ingredients

Flour tortillas
Thin slices of American cheese cut into long strips
Honey

Spread a tortilla flat on top of a paper plate. Lay the cheese strips in a stripe pattern across the tortilla. Cook in a microwave oven on high for 15 to 30 seconds. Remove from the microwave and let cool for a few seconds. Then pour lines of honey in between the cheese strips. Last, roll the tortilla into a tight tube and you have a treat fit for a queen bee!
