The vegetarian quesadillas we get here are often loaded with cheese. I love cheese but this gets a little too 'cheesy' for my taste. Making them at home is not only easy but you can experiment with a variety of fillings! It makes for a quick, easy dinner!
(Makes 2 quesadillas)
4 medium tortillas (whole wheat, corn or flour)
Chopped onion, handful
Diced green/red pepper, handful
1 spring onion, chopped
A couple slivers of jalapeno
Jack and Mozzarella cheese, handful
Lay one tortilla on a plate
Sprinkle with half the cheese, peppers, onions, jalapenos and spring onion
Lay the other tortilla on top
Heat a griddle or pan and spray with some non stick cooking spray
Reduce heat to medium and lay the quesadilla on the pan. Press the top with a weight or a spatula to help the tortillas stick when the cheese melts
Brown on both side or until the cheese has melted
Cut into wedges and serve with Sour "Cream" dip mentioned in the blog (Its actually yogurt!) and salsa, mexican beans etc.
Variations on the filling:
Pineapple and jalapeno
Beans and onions
Cooked/Roasted potato, onions and peppers (My personal favorite!)
Crumbled tofu and jalapeno
Shredded chicken and jalapeno
Spicy grilled tilapia and salsa
Also try different cheeses:
Feta, cheddar, parmesan etc
Oh yummy yum-yum.. This is actually good - first-hand experience speaking (well, my first hand was eating, not cooking).
ReplyDeleteI made this yesterday for dinner with 2 fillings - pineappale and jalapeno and the other filling from the original recipe. Both tasted yum :))
