Here’s a simple recipe for Veggie Quesadillas serving four:
Ingredients:
- 8 medium flour tortillas
- 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a mix)
- 2 cups assorted vegetables (bell peppers, onions, zucchini, mushrooms, etc.), sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional toppings: salsa, guacamole, sour cream, chopped cilantro
Instructions:
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced vegetables and sauté for 5-7 minutes until they’re tender-crisp. Season with cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Place a tortilla on a clean surface. Sprinkle a handful of shredded cheese evenly over one half of the tortilla.
- Spoon some of the sautéed vegetables over the cheese layer.
- Top the vegetables with another layer of cheese.
- Fold the tortilla in half to cover the filling, creating a half-moon shape.
- Repeat the process for the remaining tortillas and filling.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the quesadillas onto the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they’re golden brown and the cheese melts.
- Once cooked, remove the quesadillas from the skillet and let them cool for a minute.
- Cut each quesadilla into wedges and serve with optional toppings like salsa, guacamole, sour cream, or chopped cilantro.
Serving Suggestions:
