Loaded Veggie Quesadillas

These are so delicious.  We enjoy mexican food in our house (probably a lot more than we should). I guess it’s something about tortillas filled with hot gooey cheese topped with salsas.  All I know is that mexican food is GOOD! So I tried to create something that was more on the healthy side but didn’t lack any of that great flavor. I ended up making these loaded veggie quesadillas and they were quick, easy and you would never know they were healthy.


The cheese & veggie filling

Loaded Veggie Quesadillas

Yield 6 servings

Ingredients:

  •  Non-stick cooking spray, olive oil or butter
  •  12 Flour tortillas (or any other type you prefer to use)
  •  1 can of black beans, drained and rinsed
  •  1 cup of canned corn kernels (you can substitute fresh or frozen)
  •  2 roasted green hatch chili’s (or you may substitute 1 small 6 oz can of green chili’s)
  •  4 green onions sliced very thin
  •  ½ cup of  diced red onion
  •  1 ½ cups of shredded pepper jack cheese
  •  Fresh Cilantro

Directions:

  1. In a large pan over medium heat lightly oil the surface of the pan.
  2.  Lay one tortilla in the pan and sprinkle a small amount of cheese evenly over it. Add all of the veggies and top with fresh cilantro and a little bit more of the cheese.
  3.  Cook the tortilla about 3 minutes flipping over and cooking an additional 2 -3 minutes or until the tortilla is a nice golden brown color. Repeat the process with the remaining quesadillas. Cut each quesadilla into wedges. Serve with sour cream or salsa.
