Going international today, sharing a Mexican recipe with you my foodies! I have tasted authentic Mexican food and I just love it. Tried and thought of sharing with you all. I hope you will love this recipe and will enjoy it with your family and friends.

Veggie Quesadillas

Ingredients

• 1 whole wheat tortilla
• 1 medium sized onion
• 1 medium sized tomato
• 1 bowl of mixed bell peppers (red, yellow, green)
• 1 jalapeño
• 1 cup grated cheddar cheese Monterey jack cheese
• Salt as per taste
• 1 canola oil (any of your choice)
• Taco sauce or tabasco sauce

Recipe

Put a flat bottom pan over a medium flame. Add a tsp of oil and add chopped onion and chopped bell peppers. Sauté them for a min. Now add chopped tomato and jalapeño. Add salt and tabasco sauce as per your taste. Sauté till its half done. Switch off the flame and keep the veggies aside.

Heat another pan or skillet and brush it with little oil and put one tortilla over it. Sprinkle cheese and top it with vegetables that we have kept aside. Then again spread cheese over the vegetables.

Now fold the tortilla half to enclose the filling. Once the underside is crisp gently flip it to the other side and fry for few mins.

Once it is done gently slide the tortilla on a serving dish and cut into wedges.
