Roasted Vegetable Quesadillas | WholeFoodsMarket
Ingredients
1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
2 cups sliced red, green or yellow bell peppers
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
3/4 cup grated Monterey Jack cheese
6 flour tortillas
1 (15-ounce) can black beans, drained
3 tablespoons butter
Chopped lettuce
1/2 to 1 cup salsa
1/3 cup sour cream
1/2 cup guacamole
Try layering shredded roasted chicken, pulled pork, or sliced skirt steak with the onions and peppers in these quick and easy stovetop quesadillas. For vegetarians, sautéed mushrooms are a great addition, too.
Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss onions and peppers with olive oil, salt and pepper. Roast in oven, tossing occasionally, 6 to 8 minutes, or until golden brown. Sprinkle 2 to 3 tablespoons cheese on each of 3 tortillas. Top with roasted onions and peppers, beans and remaining cheese. Arrange remaining tortillas on top. Heat butter in a large skillet over medium high heat and, working in batches, brown both sides of each quesadilla until cheese is melted. Cut into quarters and transfer quesadillas to plates. Serve with lettuce, salsa, sour cream and guacamole on the side.
Serves 3 to 4.
Nice alternative to hot dogs and hamburgers for your holiday cookout. You can probably do all the grilling outside. I would skip the butter and use olive oil instead if I were cooking these inside. Or brush lightly with olive oil if using outdoor grill. Yum.
