Vegetable Cheese Quesadillas

To enjoy vegetable cheese quesadillas are best served hot or warm, so the cheese stays runny. Serve these delicious quesadillas with sour cream or yogurt on the side for dipping, and perhaps some guacamole too. Salsa is always nice alongside quesadillas, although these contain the main salsa ingredients so the sour cream and guacamole would give more of a contrast.
Vegetable Cheese Quesadillas Recipes
Ingredients :
2 flour tortillas
1 finely chopped red bell pepper
2 sliced, fresh plum tomatoes
2 finely chopped green onions
1 grated carrot
½ cup plain yogurt
½ cup grated Monterey Jack cheese
2 tablespoons salsa
½ cup chopped spinach
Directions :
Heat a nonstick skillet over a medium heat.
Place a tortilla in the skillet and warm it for 2 minutes. Turn the tortilla over and put half the tomato, green onion, carrot and bell pepper on one half.
Top the vegetables with half the yogurt, salsa, cheese and spinach and fold the tortilla over.
Cook for 3 more minutes or until the cheese melts.
Transfer the quesadilla to a plate, cover it with tinfoil to keep warm and make the second quesadilla in the same way.
Good Luck !

Mexican Shrimp Quesadillas

Quesadillas are one of the best loved Mexican recipes because they are so easy to make yet so satisfying and versatile. The onion tops add flavor to these cheese and shrimp quesadillas, the addition of fresh herbs is very Mexican, and you can choose from either cilantro or parsley.
These quesadillas are assembled before being fried on both sides, unlike some other Mexican recipes where the tortillas are warmed and then the ingredients are added.
Serve these flavorful shrimp quesadillas just as they are or with some salsa, guacamole, or sour cream on the side, so that people can help themselves to whichever they like. The following recipes and how to make Mexican Shrimp Quesadillas.

Ingredients :
½ cup cooked shrimp, coarsely chopped
4 flour tortillas
1 cup Monterey Jack cheese
1 tablespoon finely chopped cilantro or parsley
¼ cup green onion tops, thinly sliced
Directions :
Sprinkle half of each tortilla with cheese, onions, shrimp and cilantro or parsley.
Fold the tortillas in half and cook them in a lightly greased skillet over a medium heat until they are golden brown all over.
Cut each tortilla into 4 wedges to serve.
(Serves 16 as an Appetizer or 4 as a Main Course)
Good Luck !
