[Photo via Sunset] Grill This. Quesadillas are the perfect snack to have while lounging poolside, because they are not only extremely flavorful but are such an easy finger food to eat. Depending on what time it is, you can adjust the recipe to be either a breakfast quesadilla, or a lunch snack to enjoy poolside. What's even better is that you can also easily swap out some of the ingredients based on you or your guests' likings...
