Ok, repeat after me: Quesadillas from the microwave are not real quesadillas.
Good. Today for lunch I made myself a quesadilla. I used to microwave them until I saw a friend make one on the stove in high school and have never gone back. It doesn't take much longer to cook, the cleaning is minimal, and the texture is much, much better.
Quesadilla with Tomato and Green Onion
Prep time: 4 minutes
Cook time: 5 minutes
Ingredients:
1 green onion
4 cherry tomatoes
2 small flour tortillas
1/2 c. grated 2% cheese
1. Dice the green onion and tomatoes.
2. Lay one tortilla in a frying pan over low heat. Top with cheese and veggies and cook with lid on until cheese starts to melt.
3. Place second tortilla on top of cheese and veggies. Press down to stick to cheese. Flip quesadilla.
4. Increase heat to medium and cook until tortilla on bottom has browned. Flip over and brown the other tortilla.
5. Cut and serve.
Tip: I love topping mine with salsa, especially when I am feeling too lazy to chop veggies and make them with just cheese. Guacamole is also an amazing topping.
