Cooking for two doesn’t have to be boring. These charred vegetarian quesadillas use the same frying pan to char the filling and cook the quesadillas, so you can create a yummy vegetarian dinner in no time, with hardly any washing up!
Ingredients
Quesadillas
1/2 yellow pepper, deseeded, cut in half and flattened
1 thick slice of red onion, peeled
75g cherry tomatoes
1 tablespoon Old El Paso™ Smoky BBQ Seasoning Mix For Fajitas
50g goats' cheese, softened
25g baby spinach
2 Old El Paso™ Regular Flour Tortillas
To serve
100g Old El Paso™ Thick 'N Chunky Salsa
Instructions
Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the pepper (skin-side down), onion and tomatoes. Cook, without moving, for 2-3 minutes, until blackened in spots. Turn the vegetables over and continue to cook, without moving, for a further 2-3 minutes, until blackened in spots on the second side.
Transfer the vegetables to chopping board. Let cool slightly. Cut the pepper into strips, cut the onion ring in half and carefully halve the tomatoes. Add the vegetables to small bowl with the seasoning mix and toss to coat.
Top half of each tortilla with half the goats’ cheese and half the spinach. Divide the vegetables between the tortillas. Fold each tortilla over the filling and press down slightly.
Clean out the frying pan. Place the tortillas in pan over a medium heat and cook for 4-5 minutes, turning once, until golden brown and crisp. Cut into wedges and serve with the salsa.
