You can put practically anything inside a quesadilla but essentially a traditional quesadilla is a flour tortilla, grilled with melted cheese and folded over like an omelette. I have used two flour tortilla's like a toasted sandwich so I can cut them into a few more pieces. I have made these for my own lunch with things like olive, mushroom, capsicum (red peppers) and a mix of my favourite cheeses, like feta or goats cheese. It's delicious and super fast.
Ingredients:
2 large flour tortillas
Grated cheese, strong cheddar, tasty or monterey jack or a mix
Zucchini, finely grated
Avocado or guacamole
olive oil
Method:
- Heat a cast iron pan or non stick pan on the stove.
- Grate your cheese.
- Grate the zucchini, (roughly chop as well if necessary to disguise the veg from your children!) place between some paper towel and press to absorb any excess liquid.
- Place one tortilla on the hot pan and cook. Flip so that both sides starts to puff up and warm through.
- Spread your avocado across the tortilla while it's in the pan, sprinkle the zucchini and cheese and then place the second tortilla on top. Flip when the base is browned sufficiently.
- Remove and cut into pieces.
- Serve with some fresh tomato salsa or humus if preferred.
