So we've established that spicy food is muy delicioso, and that Jamie Oliver can cook a damn good quesadilla. You may not, however, always have all of the ingredients on hand that an amazing recipe like Jamie's Quesadillas with Guacamole, as featured yesterday here on Seared. If you've got the ingredients, make 'em. If you don't, just use what's in your fridge. It's amazing what you can put together without having to go to the grocery store.

Nothing breaks a case of the Mondays like muy picante Mexican food. It wakes up your brain, your belly, and stimulates the senses. In fact, eating spicy foods has been linked to cardiovascular health, flu treatment, pain relief, and even cancer prevention. Oh, of course we can't leave out the fact that spicy food is tasty!
