Quick Quesadillas

These cheesey quesadillas make a great snack or meal.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 6 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2 large flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded jack cheese
  • 1 small bell pepper
  • 1/4 small onion, peeled and sliced
  • Optional- leftover beef or chicken
  • 1/4 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon chile powder

Preparation:

Seed the bell pepper and slice into 1/4 inch strips. In a small pan, heat 1 teaspoon of oil over medium heat, and sauté the peppers and onions for 3-4 minutes or until slightly limp. While cooking them, sprinkle on the cumin and chile powder. Place a tortilla on a warm griddle over low heat. Sprinkle on 1/2 of the cheese and all of the peppers and onions.
