Mexican Madness!

There are times when I feel lazy to make a proper meal and that's the time for quick Quesadillas :)! 

Quesadillas are basically a Mexican dish but somewhere read that long time ago Spanish brought their dairy products into to Mexico and hence the Mexicans turned up a cheesy dish out of it called Quesadillas. Queso in Spanish means cheese and  Queso + tortillas became Quesadillas!

Original Quesadillas are simply grilled tortillas with melted cheese sandwiched in it.
But we prefer whole-grain tortillas along with some veggies + lots of cheese to make it enticing and delicious :). And the speedy meal is ready in less than 10 minutes too!

Ingredients
Whole grain flour tortilla - 10
Butter for brushing the tortillas
Grated cheese of your choice (i use cheddar) - 2 Cups
Sweetcorn kernels - 1 Cup
Green / Red Peppers finely chopped - 1
Onions finely chopped - 1
Green chilies finely chopped - 1
Salt to taste
Black pepper powder - 1/2 tsp 
Paprika - 1 tsp
Oil - 2 tbsp

Method
  • Heat oil in a pan, add chilies, Onions and saute for a few minutes.
  • Then add all the other veggies and saute for a minute or two.
  • Add salt, paprika, and pepper powder and mix well. Transfer this into a bowl.
  • Once this cools, add the Cheese.
  • Heat the tava and brush some butter.
  • To prepare the quesadilla - spread the veggie mixture on 1 roti and top it with extra cheese (if you want to make it stretchy and cheesy) and cover this with another roti.
  • Place this on the hot buttered tava and roast on low flame.
  • Flip it over and roast until golden brown.
  • Cut it into the desired shape and serve hot with Salsa.
