Easy Quesadilla:

May 16 2007 - 6:23am

Last night I needed a quick dinner because it was late and also something I could make with what I had on-hand, again because it was late and I wasn't budging from my apartment to grab some grub. This recipe was inspired from a quesadilla I had over the weekend that had feta it. I love feta (I'm greek, I kind of have to, ha), but was suprised by it being there. Anywho, here's the recipe. It's really quick to make and there's a million different variations you could do, but I'm posting how I did it last night and will write other options below. I basically did this during a commercial break (give or take a few minutes):

Easy Quesadilla

cooking spray
1/2 small onion, chopped
1/2 green pepper, chopped
1/2 red pepper, chopped
1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
1/4 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp ground coriander
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
2 tortillas
chili aoili sauce, or other for adornment on top

I used an electric griddle, but you can easily use a toaster oven, oven, or frying pan and make this as well.

Spray griddle with cooking spray and heat it up to 350. Meanwhile, chop onion and peppers. Combine cheeses and add spices (cumin through black pepper to mixture). When griddle is thoroughly heated, place one tortilla down. Add cheese mixture, top with onion/pepper mixture and top with second tortilla. Heat for a few minutes to let cheese melt, check bottom to make sure it is not burning. Once heated, flip (some innards fell out at this point but I just used them for decoration and topping, see photo). Cook for a few more minutes. Remove from heat. Slice in four pieces. Top with any innards that fell out and drizzle sauce on top to enjoy!

Options:
- you could saute the onion/pepper mixture. This would add time, but would soften the flavors. I actually love raw onions, so this was a good way to eat them.
- you could add some sort of meat to this
- you could add salsa
- avocado would have been divine if I had any!
- change up the chese mixtureEasy Quesadilla [0]Easy Quesadilla
