Ready to embrace this uniquely delightful twist? It’s a straightforward recipe that invites you to customize with your favorite toppings—crisp cilantro, zesty lime, or even a sprinkle of cheddar if you like. Let’s get into why this dish has become my go-to this season.
Veggie Quesadilla
Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Slice the bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion into thin strips or small dice for even cooking.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and add olive oil, allowing it to shimmer slightly.
- Add the chopped red onion to the skillet and sauté until it becomes translucent and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
- Stir in the bell peppers and zucchini, cooking for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized around the edges.
- Season the vegetable mixture with salt and pepper, then remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
- Lay a flour tortilla flat on a clean surface and evenly sprinkle half of the shredded cheese over one half of the tortilla.
- Spread a portion of the sautéed vegetables over the cheese layer, then sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
- Fold the tortilla in half to enclose the filling, pressing down gently to flatten slightly and seal the edges.
- Place the assembled quesadilla onto the preheated skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese has melted inside.
- Use a spatula to flip the quesadilla carefully, ensuring even browning and that it doesn’t fall apart.
- Once both sides are crispy and the cheese is bubbly, remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it rest for a minute before slicing.
- Cut the quesadilla into wedges and serve warm, garnished with your favorite toppings like cilantro or a squeeze of lime.
