Quesadillas are a yummy, cheesy treat that can be served for lunch, dinner or anytime as a snack. Adding roasted veggies to this delicious meal increases the flavor and helps make the quesadillas a little healthier. Follow these tips for making roasted veggie quesadillas.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Baking sheet
  • Large skillet or griddle
  • Tortillas
  • Olive oil
  • Sea salt
  • Black pepper, ground or cracked
  • Diced peppers
  • Diced onion
  • Black beans
  • Jalapeño or habanero pepper (optional)
  • Monterey jack cheese
  • Salsa
  • Sour cream
  • Guacamole
  1. Step 1

    Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.

  2. Step 2

    Toss the diced peppers and onions in olive oil to coat the vegetables using a large bowl. Add jalapeƱos or habanero peppers if you desire a hotter flavor in your quesadillas.

  3. Step 3

    Spread the veggies out in an even layer on the baking sheet and roast for 6 to 8 minutes. Flip the vegetables over and continue to roast for another 6 to 8 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Return the roasted veggies to the bowl and add the black beans. Season with sea salt and black pepper. While the mixture sits and the flavors combine, turn the oven off and heat the skillet or griddle over medium to high heat. If you are using a skillet, coat the bottom lightly with olive oil to keep the quesadillas from sticking.

  5. Step 5

    Place one tortilla on the skillet or griddle. Top the tortilla with some of the veggie mixture and a small amount of monterey jack cheese. Place another tortilla on top and let the quesadilla sit. Check the underside of the quesadilla frequently to be sure the tortilla does not burn.

  6. Step 6

    Flip the roasted veggie quesadilla over as soon as the bottom is lightly browned. Cook the other side until lightly browned, and transfer to a plate.

  7. Step 7

    Cut the quesadilla into wedges and serve with salsa, sour cream or guacamole as desired.

Tips & Warnings
  • Other veggies, such as zucchini and tomatoes, can be roasted with the peppers and onions to add more flavor to your roasted veggie quesadillas.
  • Actual quantities for quesadilla fillings depend on how many quesadillas you are making. When figuring how much filling to add to each quesadilla, keep in mind that you don't want to fill the tortillas too full since the ingredients will spread out as the quesadilla cooks.
