This is a scrumptious, easy to make, quesadilla recipe i.e flour tortillas filled with a savoury mixture of veggies and cheese, then grilled to ooey gooey perfection and topped with some salsa... uuummmmmmm!

What you'll need.. (Makes 5-6)

For Quesadilla:

• 5-6 Flour tortillas
• 1 Medium onion, finely chopped
• 1 Medium tomato, finely chopped
• 1 Small green/red bell pepper, finely chopped
• 3 Green onions, finely chopped
• 1/2 Cup corn
• 2-3 Garlic pods, grated
• 1/2 Tsp chilli flakes
• 1-2 Tsp lemon juice
• Cheddar cheese, grated
• 1 Tbsp Oil, plus additional as needed
• Salt to taste

For Salsa: (Great with tostitos chips too!)

• 1/2 Small onion, finely chopped
• 1 Medium tomato, finely chopped
• 1-2 Garlic pods, grated
• 2 Tbsp cilantro leaves, chopped
• 1 Tsp chilli flakes
• 2 Tsp lemon juice
• 1 Tsp olive oil
• Salt to taste

How to..

• Mix all the ingredients of the salsa in a bowl and set aside.
• Heat 1 Tbsp oil in a non stick pan. Add grated garlic to it and fry for 10-12 seconds.
• Add onions and green peppers and cook for 3-4 minutes till the onions get translucent in color.
• Add tomatoes, green onions, corn, chilli flakes, lemon juice and salt. Mix well and cook for another 2-3 minutes till the tomatoes get a little soft but not mushy. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Heat a stove top grill pan or a flat pan. Add a few drops of oil to it.
• Now assemble the quesadillas. Spoon in the veggie mixture onto 1/2 side of a tortilla (semi circle). Add a generous amount of grated cheese over the veggies and fold the tortilla in 1/2.
• Place this over the grill pan. Press it down with a spatula and grill for about 2 minutes till you see grill marks on the tortilla, then flip over to the other side and cook for another 2 minutes.
• Repeat this for all the remaining tortillas. Cut them in half, top with some salsa and serve hot.
