Vegetable Cheese Quesadillas
These cheese quesadillas take mere minutes to make and are ideal as a lunch snack if you are in a hurry or fancy something a bit different from a sandwich. These cheese quesadillas are vegetarian and contain healthy ingredients like bell pepper, tomato, onions, spinach and carrot.

Quesadillas in Mexico usually contain beef or chicken but these vegetarian cheese quesadillas are just as tasty as the meat versions. You can cut these into halves or thirds and serve them as appetizers if you prefer. These cheese quesadillas are best served hot, since the vegetables will be warm and the cheese will still be runny.
 

Vegetarian Cheese Quesadillas
 
Ingredients -
 
2 flour tortillas
1 finely chopped red bell pepper
2 sliced, fresh plum tomatoes
2 finely chopped green onions
1 grated carrot
½ cup plain yogurt
½ cup grated Monterey Jack cheese
2 tablespoons salsa
½ cup chopped spinach
 
Preparation:
 

Heat a nonstick skillet over a medium heat.

Place a tortilla in the skillet and warm it for 2 minutes. Turn the tortilla over and put half the tomato, green onion, carrot and bell pepper on one half.

Top the vegetables with half the yogurt, salsa, cheese and spinach and fold the tortilla over.

Cook for 3 more minutes or until the cheese melts.

Transfer the quesadilla to a plate, cover it with tinfoil to keep warm and make the second quesadilla in the same way.

(Serves 2)
