120g
1/2 oz cheddar cheese
14g
1/2 tomato
60g
1 tbsp vegetable oil
14g
1 tsp coriander leaves
1g
2 tbsp sour cream
30g
2 tbsp lime juice
30g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Vegetables:
- Thinly slice the red pepper and onion.
- Finely chop the jalapeño pepper. Remove the seeds if you prefer less heat.
- Dice the tomato.
2. Cook the Vegetables:
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat.
- Add the sliced red pepper, onion, and chopped jalapeño to the pan.
- Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
- Remove the pan from the heat and set the cooked vegetables aside.
3. Assemble the Quesadillas:
- Lay out the tortillas on a flat surface.
- Evenly distribute the cooked vegetable mixture onto one half of each tortilla.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the vegetables.
- Fold the empty half of each tortilla over the filled half to form a half-moon shape.
4. Cook the Quesadillas:
- Heat a clean skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- Place the folded quesadillas into the skillet.
- Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted.
5. Finish and Serve:
- Remove the quesadillas from the skillet and let them cool slightly.
- Cut the quesadillas into wedges.
- Sprinkle the diced tomato and chopped coriander leaves on top.
- Serve with a dollop of sour cream and a drizzle of lime juice on each quesadilla serving.

Tips:

- For added flavor, consider roasting the vegetables before incorporating them into the quesadillas.

- Make sure the tortillas are fully heated and slightly crisp to give the quesadillas a satisfying crunch.

- If you prefer a spicier kick, leave the seeds in the jalapeño or add a dash of hot sauce.

- Shredding your own cheddar cheese can help it melt better compared to pre-shredded cheese.

- Serve the quesadillas immediately after cooking to enjoy them at their best texture and flavor.

Enjoy your homemade veggie quesadillas with a squeeze of lime and a dollop of sour cream. These quesadillas are a healthy and satisfying meal that can be enjoyed by everyone.
