Quesadillas and Cross-contamination!

Cross-contaminawhat?? 

What do you get when you cross raw foods and RTE foods? A possible food born illness and/or a parasite!  No thank you!  How do you prevent cross-contamination you ask?  By keeping raw and uncooked meat and dairy items far away from foods that no longer need to be cooked to eat (RTE- Ready To Eat foods); like cheese and cooked flour tortillas in our recipe this week. 

Watch this clip for more on cross-contamination:
