Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 flour tortillas
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the bell pepper, red onion, and mushrooms to the skillet. Season with cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Wipe the skillet clean and return it to the stove over medium heat. Place one tortilla in the skillet and sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the tortilla.
- Spread half of the cooked vegetables over the cheese, then top with another tortilla. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and crispy.
- Carefully flip the quesadilla and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the second side is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas, cheese, and vegetables to make the second quesadilla.
- Slice the quesadillas into wedges and serve hot with your favorite salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.
