Quesadilla


This is a good recipe to utilize the left overs. The extra ingredients required are flour tortillas, cooked rice and shredded cheese.
preparation time: 10 min.
if the stuffing is already present.
Serving size: 3 persons
Ingredients:
Flour tortillas (soft): 2
Cooked rice: 1 cup (not compulsory)
Shredded cheese: 1 cup
Salsa: 3tbsp (optional and if it is at home)
Left overs like cooked beans, any curry from last night's dinner. I have used the stuffing used for black bean sandwich. (The recipe is already present in this blog)
Salt and pepper or any seasoning that is present at home. (optional of course)
Method:
Quesadilla can be prepared in 2 ways by using either 2 tortillas to make a round shaped quesadilla which is shown in the picture or half moon shaped using one tortilla. Stuffing can be placed on half side of the tortilla and the other half is covers the stuffing.
I am explaining the round shaped one.
Place a tortilla on a flat surface. Spread salsa on it.
Spread the left over curry in generous amounts if you want to finish it off but not even too thick.
Spread a layer of rice.
Sprinkle the seasoning.
Spread a thick layer of shredded cheese.
Cover with another tortilla.
Close the edges with the help of cheese.
Grease a pan by using a cooking spray and heat it.
Place the quesadilla.
Cook on both sides until cheese melts.
Cut them into wedges and serve hot.
