In my effort to create more single-serve recipes, I recently tried using a small, inexpensive ceramic waffle iron to make gluten-free quesadillas — and they turned out wonderfully. The exterior develops a pleasant crispness you can control by shortening or lengthening the cooking time, while the interior becomes filled with gooey melted cheese and chicken or any other fillings you prefer. Serve with a non-fat, sweet-and-spicy dipping sauce for a bright, tangy kick.

To make the dipping sauce:
Instructions:
- Preheat the waffle iron following the manufacturer’s directions. I used a medium-low setting.
- Place one tortilla flat on the preheated waffle iron.
- Top with the shredded cheese, chicken, and green chiles or any other fillings you like.
- Place the second tortilla over the filling. Close the lid and press down gently for about 7 seconds, then cook until the cheese is melted, about 2–3 minutes depending on your iron. If cheese spills onto the plates, carefully remove the excess with a paper towel once it cools slightly.
