Vegetable Quesadilla

Quesadilla is a mexican dish made with toasted tortillas stuffed with a mixture of vegetables and cheese and other ingredients.
Traditionally, they only have melted cheese inside , however, you can add various vegetables and sauces of your choice to suit your taste.

Ingredients:
  • Flour or Corn Tortillas - 2
  • Grated Cheese ( any )
  • Oil Spray
  • Guacamole - 1 tbsp
  • Chopped Spring Onions - 3 tbsp
  • Chopped Onions - 1 tbsp
  • Chopped Tomatoes - 1 tbsp
  • Baked Beans - 3 tbsp
  • Chopped Bell Pepper - 2 tbsp
  • Chopped Jalapenos - to taste
  • Salt - to taste
  • Pepper Powder - to taste
  • Taco Seasoning Mix - to taste
Note : You can have veggies of your choice. Other options for filling could be mushrooms, olives,  sweet corn, spinach etc. You can have your own permutations and combinations.
Also, I like my veggies crunchy, so I use them raw. However, you can saute them if you wish so.

Directions :
  • In a bowl, combine all the veggies ( spring onions, onions, tomatoes, bell pepper, jalapenos and baked beans) and mix well. I prefer all my veggies chopped very finely.
  • Add salt, pepper, taco seasoning mix and combine. This is the stuffing for the quesadillas.
  • On a skillet, spray little cooking oil and place a tortilla. Let it heat for 10-12 seconds and flip it over.
  • Reduce the heat to low-medium, as we want it to turn crispy and golden brown without getting burnt.
  • On the surface of the tortilla, spread guacamole, spread the vegetable mix evenly and spread the grated cheese.  ( Click here for the recipe of Guacamole )
  • Take another tortilla and place it over and cover it. Spary some oil on the second tortilla and slowly and carefully flip the entire thing over.
  • Cook until crispy and golden brown.
  • Cut into 4 quarters with pizza cutter and serve with salsa, tortilla chips, guacamole dip or cheese dip.
