Don't-Order-Takeout Weeknight Quesadillas
A template for building healthy, clear-out-the-fridge quesadillas from whatever you have on hand, when you think there's nothing for dinner.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- large flour tortillas
- shredded cheddar cheese
- chicken fish, beef, pork, tofu or beans
- finely chopped red onion green onion, and/or jalapeno
- a handful of finely chopped cooked veggies zucchini, bell peppers, corn, eggplant, greens, cabbage, sweet potato, squash
- a handful of chopped raw vegetables tomatoes, radishes, lettuce, cilantro
- dips as desired (avocado, salsa, sour cream/greek yogurt)
Instructions
- Heat a large griddle or pan over medium heat. Add as many tortillas as there are mouths to feed and divide the toppings among them, only covering one half. Fold each tortilla over on itself to close, and cook until bottom is browned and cheese is melted, about 5 minutes (reducing heat if they are getting dark too quickly). Serve with desired raw toppings and dips.
