HP – Easy Veggie Quesadillas with Melted Cheese
Easy Veggie Quesadillas with a Melted Mozzarella and Cheddar Combo. A few clever steps and you’ll be chowing down on gooey, crispy quesadillas in no time!
Servings:2 Quesadillas
Calories:469kcal
Ingredients
- 4 small cherry tomatoes
- ½ onion
- ½ bell pepper, red (your fave colour)
- 1 cup spinach
- 2 tbsp red pesto (check the notes, if you want to make your own)
- ½ cup cheddar cheese
- 1 ball low fat mozzarella
- 4 wholegrain tortillas (check the notes, if you want to make them homemade)
Optional
- Sliced chilies for a kick!
Instructions
- Wash the tomatoes and pepper, peel the onions and cut them all into thin slices – the cheese too.
- Wash the spinach and let it drain in a sieve.
- Grab a tortilla and spread a layer of pesto over half of it. A tablespoon works well.
- Add a light layer of cheese on top and a quarter of the tomato, pepper and onion, followed by a few spinach leaves.
- Top it with another layer of cheese.
- Then fold the other half of the tortilla on top and place in a large frying pan (nonstick).
- Heat for 2-3 minutes. Flip and heat for another 2-3 minutes until the cheese has melted – a good indicator is a little running out the side.
- Pro Tip: place a heavy pot on top of the quesadilla so that it flattens nicely and cooks more evenly – this will also stop the insides escaping! If you don’t like the thought of putting a pot directly on your quesadillas then put a plate between the two.
