Quesadilla Ingredients
Method
Preparation Instructions
Prepare the Veggies
In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the diced tomatoes and sliced jalapenos, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
Assemble the Quesadillas
On one half of each tortilla, layer the cheddar and jack cheese, followed by the sautéed veggie mixture. Fold the other half of the tortilla over to create a half-moon shape.
Cook the Quesadillas
In the same skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Cook each quesadilla for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly before cutting.
