Roasted Pepper, Onion & Garlic Quesadilla
From Spanish meaning “little cheesy thing”.
Mexican-style dish with ingredients wrapped inside a tortilla.
- 1 can (4 oz) whole roasted green chiles (chillies), drained, seeded and sliced in strips
- 1 jar (4 oz) roasted red peppers, drained, seeded and sliced in strips
- vegetable cooking spray
- 1 medium onion, sliced thin
- pinch of salt and fresh ground pepper
- 4 oz goats cheese or feta cheese, crumbled
- 8 corn/flour tortillas - 6-7 inches (15-18cm) in diameter
Spray a large skillet, add the onion and cook over medium heat until soft, about 5 minutes; add garlic and continue for approx 3-5 minutes, until both are lightly browned. Add the peppers and chile strips and mix. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Preheat over to 325, spray two baking sheets and arrange tortillas on sheets in a single layer. Sprinkle 2 tbs of the crumbled cheese onto each tortilla, leaving room around the edge; spread the pepper/onion mix onto the tortillas, dividing evenly.
Bake for 8 – 10 minutes, or until the cheese has softened; remove and fold each in half and flip over. Flip again in 2 minutes, then bake until crisp and slightly browned, approx 2-3 more minutes. Serve with salsa or sour cream. |
