Preparation
Step 1
Heat oil in a pan, saute the onions, mushrooms and green bell peppers until tender. Turn off heat. Add cabbage, tomatoes, salt, Oregano, basil, thyme mix and pepper and set aside this vegetable mixture.
Step 2
Heat a frying pan to medium heat.
Take one flour tortilla and place it in the pan. Spread some butter/oil on the tortilla. Toast the tortillas for about 10 seconds each side until air pockets begin to form within the tortilla.
Step 3
Spread about 2 tablespoons of the vegetable mixture over one half of the tortilla. Add about a tablespoon of cheese on top of this vegetable mixture.
Step 4
Fold the tortilla covering the mixture into a half moon shape or semi circle. Press down on the tortilla for a few seconds, allowing the cheese to melt.
Take the tortilla and toast in sandwich toaster-
If you don’t have a sandwich toaster like mine (grilled), then you can toast it in the pan itself till brown spots appear.
The stuffing for the quesadillas can be anything of your choice, cooked, uncooked, any vegetables like sweet corn, baby corn, carrots, peas, beans etc. Experimenting can be lot of fun.
-It is a very good snack for parties; just keep the stuffing ready and serve hot when guests arrive.
