Quick Quesadillas

These cheesey quesadillas make a great snack or meal.
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 6 minutes

  • 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.
