Veggie Quesadillas

A quesadilla is a wheat tortilla or a corn tortilla filled with cheese, a savoury mixture, and/or vegetables, often cooked on a griddle, then folded in half to form a half-moon shape.The origin of the quesadilla was colonial Mexico. The quesadilla as a food has changed and evolved over many years as people experimented with different variations of it.

In the following recipe I have not done any innovations :) Just a recipe from google and have used whatever veggies available @ home.

Ingredients:

6 Homemade Flour Tortilla Recipe or roti's (here)

1 cup grated cheddar cheese

1 cup chopped mushrooms

1 cup chopped onions or green onions

¼ cup chopped green, red and yellow bell peppers

1 cup chopped fresh tomatoes

Butter/oil for toasting the tortillas

Tomato Ketchup

Salt and pepper to taste

Method

Heat a flat griddle and slightly roast the inside of the tortilla just to give it a slight brown color. Remove it on a plate.

Now add a tsp of ketchup each on the roasted part of tortilla and spread evenly.

Now spread some shredded cheese on half of the tortilla followed by the Vegetable filling and Cheese again.

Now fold the quesadilla into half to make a semi circle (half moon shape).

Now add a tsp of butter or oil on the griddle and roast this quesadilla on medium low heat till it gets a nice golden brown color.

Now flip and roast the other side too. Repeat the entire procedure to make the remaining quesadillas.

Note

The filling for the quesadillas can be anything of your choice: olives and and salad vegetables. Experimenting can get fun and tasty with this dish. Cheese can be omitted if desired and it will taste just as great.
