Vegetarian Quesadillas

Course Main Course
Cuisine Mexican
Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 5 minutes
Servings 2

Ingredients

  • 2 tortillas (gluten-free, whole wheat, whatever kind you want)
  • 1/2 large carrot grated or chopped finely
  • 1 small bell pepper or half a large one, your choice of color, finely chopped
  • 2-3 tablespoons finely chopped onion or 1-2 green onion green and white parts chopped for a milder option
  • 1 large handful spinach chopped
  • 1/3 cup refried beans
  • 1/2 - 3/4 cup grated cheese cheddar or mozzarella or your favorite kind
  • 1/2 teaspoon butter for cooking

Instructions

  • Start by heating a pan over medium heat.  Spread one tortilla with the refried, then sprinkle lightly with cheese.  Sprinkle evenly with all the different veggies.  Again sprinkle with cheese, just enough to hold it all together then top with the other tortilla. 
  • Add 1/2 tsp or so of butter to the hot pan and then put the quesadilla in and cook like a grilled cheese sandwich.  Turn the heat down slightly so the ingredients in the middle have a chance to soften before the outside is crispy. 
  • When the bottom tortilla is golden very carefully flip the quesadilla over to the other side and continue to cook just until the other side is golden. 
  • Remove from the pan and let cool 3-5 minutes before slicing into quarters or sixths. Serve along side salsa, sour cream or burrito sauce.
