VEGETARIAN QUESADILLAS



Vegetarian Quesadillas image

These are delicious and very filling! The small amount of cheese really goes a long way - they taste cheesy but aren't oozing and loaded with fat. They also contain lots of fiber. For a very nutritious and yummy meal, I eat half of one, a salad with avocado, and an orange.

Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

cooking spray
1 small zucchini, thinly sliced
1 small yellow squash, thinly sliced
1 small onion, slivered
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1 (15 ounce) can vegetarian refried beans
8 (8 inch) whole wheat tortillas
½ cup reduced-fat shredded Cheddar cheese
2 teaspoons vegetable oil, or as needed
1 cup salsa

Steps:

  • Spray a nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Add zucchini, squash, and onion; cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Add garlic. Continue cooking until vegetables are tender, about 2 minutes more.

  • Wipe skillet out with a paper towel. Heat oil in the skillet over low heat. Add 1 quesadilla. Cook until browned and heated through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining quesadillas. Serve each quesadilla with 1/4 cup salsa.

Categories     Breakfast

Time 30m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon lime juice
sea salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 dash cumin, to taste
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
2 green onions, chopped
1 small avocado, mashed
4 whole wheat tortillas
1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil, in an atomizer
1 cup fruit salsa, for dipping

Steps:

  • Mist a light coat of olive oil on a frying pan and saute green onions until slightly softened.
  • Beat eggs with lime juice and add to the pan. Season with salt, pepper and cumin. Scramble as usual, adding chopped cilantro when eggs are soft-set.

  • When finished, remove to a warm plate and follow directions 5 and 6 with second quesadilla.
  • When both are finished, slice and serve with fruit salsa.
