Veggie Quesadillas

 A perfect recipe to finish any leftover veggies in the fridge. All we need is tortillas, any kind of melting cheese and some veggies. I had a few bags of corn, carrots and beans, broccoli in the freezer, and each had a handful or less left. This was a great recipe to finish them all.





























Ingredients:

Whole wheat tortillas/rotis - 3
Pesto/Salsa - 1/2 cup
Pepper jack/cheddar/Mozzarella cheese - 3/4 cup
Onion - 1/2
Garlic - 2 cloves
Assorted frozen/fresh veggies - 1 cup
Jalapeño - 1
Black pepper and salt - 1 tsp
Oil - 1 tbsp
Tabasco sauce - to taste

In a pan, heat the oil and add the sliced onion, jalapeno and garlic cloves. Fry till soft and add the veggies. I used diced carrots, corn, broccoli and capsicum. Fry till soft and add the salt and pepper. Keep aside.
Heat the tortillas and cook on one side. Lay the uncooked side down and spread some sauce on each tortilla. I used leftover cilantro and basil pesto from my previous post. Spread the veggies on top and top with cheese. Sprinkle some tabasco sauce on top. Fold int half and cook on a grill or a pan. Turn and cook till crisp on the other side, and until the cheese melts. Slice and serve hot with toppings of your choice. Guacamole, sour cream or salsa works great here. Substitute the veggies with cooked and sliced chicken or any filling of your choice.
